Kreos’ funds

Kreos has so far committed more than €675 million to its portfolio companies and is currently providing financing out of Kreos II as well as Kreos III, which is a €200 million fund launched at the end of 2006.
We expect to invest significantly more than these amounts during the lifetime of the funds, since in the venture debt model our portfolio companies make regular debt repayments allowing us to reinvest a fund’s capital several times.

• Under European Venture Partners, Kreos’ professionals committed some €160 million in 80 transactions across 10 countries during the first five years of operation
• In 2004, Kreos II was launched and has so far committed €196 million in 75 transactions across 12 countries. By the end of 2010, Kreos II will have committed approximately €350 million
• Kreos III was launched at the beginning of 2007 and has already committed more than €320 million to some 78 companies across 12 countries and will continue to provide significant amounts of financing over the coming years

Kreos manages third party institutional money from a dozen different financial sponsors, including Paul Capital, Merrill Lynch, AIG PineStar Capital, HarbourVest Partners, Access Capital Partners, SVB Financial Group, Deutsche Bank and the European Investment Fund.
Kreos’ traditional long-term private equity fund structure enables it to work as a long-term partner with no requirements for immediate liquidity for its investors.
