The initial target for CGR IV was $750 million.
LGT Capital Partners successfully concluded the final round of funding for Crown Growth Opportunities IV, their fourth global venture capital fund. Surpassing its initial goal of USD 750 million, CGR IV garnered over USD 930 million in subscriptions. The fund attracts investors such as pension funds, endowments, foundations, insurance companies, and family offices worldwide.
CGR IV offers investors exposure to global venture and growth-stage opportunities through established and emerging managers. While primarily investing in primary funds, the fund also utilizes secondaries and co-investments to gain exposure to competitive companies across the US, Europe, and Asia.
Thomas Kristensen, a Partner at LGT CP, said the successful final close of CGR IV leveraged the firm’s extensive network, relationships, and 25 years of experience. Furthermore, LGT’s global platform enabled a presence across all private market disciplines and geographies. (LGT Capital)
