We\u2019re delighted to share the news that IQ-EQ client Claret Capital Partners<\/a>, Europe\u2019s largest independent growth debt fund manager, has achieved the second close of Claret European Growth Capital Fund IV (\u201cFund IV\u201d), bringing total commitments to over \u20ac350 million and total assets under management to over $1 billion. This reinforces Claret\u2019s position as a leader within the European growth lending sector, having deployed over \u20ac1.2 billion to more than 190 companies since inception.<\/h3>\n

Claret continues to focus on innovative sectors, investing across technology, life sciences and climate tech. Since March 2025, the firm has already added 12 new companies to its Fund IV portfolio \u2013 including Fund Recs, Mindler, Montonio, PRODA, SIDES, ValueBlue and Yseop \u2013 highlighting its robust sourcing capabilities and reflecting both the increased demand for growth debt and the emerging opportunities within Europe.<\/p>\n

Substantial second\u00a0close commitments have come from the innovative use of a European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF)<\/a> vehicle to bring in private wealth investors. IQ-EQ acts as alternative investment fund manager (AIFM)<\/a> to both the ELTIF and the institutional vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to support Claret Capital Partners in their latest fund launch,\u201d comments Riccardo Zorzetto<\/strong>, IQ-EQ\u2019s Head of Client Relationship Management in Luxembourg. \u201cOur ongoing partnership with Claret underscores our commitment to providing top-tier fund administration services and supporting innovative investment strategies. We\u2019ve been working hand in hand since 2020 and are proud to be part of this exciting new chapter in Claret\u2019s growth journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
