- PAI Partners agrees to buy ELEMIS from L'Occitane Group
PAI is buying a brand that has grown strongly under corporate ownership. ELEMIS nearly doubled its net sales to more than $300m in FY2026, according to the companies. The US now generates about half of those sales after several years of double-digit growth, and nearly half of all sales are made online, through its own website and digital partners. PAI plans to work with the management team, led by chief executive and co-founder Noella Gabriel, to reinforce the brand’s position in the UK, accelerate expansion in the US, and grow in selected international markets. It also intends to broaden…
- Clearlake launches private wealth arm with Pathway-powered secondaries interval fund
The platform’s first product, Clearlake Private Markets Fund, is a closed-end interval fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. It is expected to open to investors in the first quarter of 2027 and will offer exposure to LP-led secondaries, GP-led secondaries, and co-investments through a single vehicle. The launch puts the Pathway deal to work. Clearlake agreed to buy the Irvine-based private markets solutions provider in November 2025, when Pathway managed more than $95bn across private equity, private credit, and infrastructure mandates. The acquisition completed in June…
- Andreessen Horowitz and DFJ Growth lead $375m Series C in satellite ground network Northwood
© David Paul Morris/Bloomberg The round comes less than nine months after Northwood’s $100m Series B. Washington Harbour Partners, which led that Series B, made a substantial follow-on investment, as did Alpine Space Ventures, StepStone, In-Q-Tel, and others. HSBC Innovation Banking has separately provided a multi-year credit facility to fund working capital and network expansion. The company did not disclose its valuation. “We’ve backed Northwood in every round since seed because we believe ground infrastructure is essential to making space infrastructure more abundant,” said Katherine…
- Francisco Partners and KKR join TeamSystem as Hellman & Friedman reinvests
KKR will also join the shareholder register as a new minority investor, while existing backer Silver Lake is increasing its stake. H&F will remain the majority owner. The deal reshapes the capital structure around a business that has grown sharply under private equity ownership. Since H&F first invested in 2016, TeamSystem has expanded from about 200,000 customers to more than three million, and its revenue has more than quadrupled to over €1.1bn. In 2025, it reported revenue of €1.15bn, up 12% organically. “Hellman & Friedman has a long history of backing high-quality, compounding businesses…
- I Squared Capital doubles target as second infrastructure credit strategy hits $3bn
ISQ Global Infrastructure Credit Fund II reached its final close alongside more than $600m of commitments and expected commitments to co-investment vehicles. That takes total capital for the strategy to $3bn, double the $1.5bn target I Squared set at launch. “Infrastructure credit has become a standalone asset class,” said Gautam Bhandari, Co-Founder, Managing Partner and Global Chief Investment Officer of I Squared Capital. “We lend against power grids, fiber networks and ports – businesses that modern economies cannot run without.” The fund provides mainly senior financing to mid-market…
- Apollo posts record fee earnings as Athene marks push it to $1.1bn loss
The firm reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.06bn, or $1.78 a share, compared with a profit of $1.71bn a year earlier. Apollo attributed the swing mainly to unrealised mark-to-market losses on certain investments in its Retirement Services segment, which recorded $3.4bn of investment-related losses for the quarter. On Apollo’s preferred measure, the picture was steadier. Adjusted net income was $1.29bn, or $2.07 a share, against $2.17 a year earlier. Excluding notable items, it was $2.15 a share.

- CPP Investments and Dream complete $422m Toronto logistics portfolio deal

With this acquisition, the venture has now deployed more than C$1.4bn ($1bn) in Canadian industrial property. That puts it close to halfway towards its C$3bn ($2.2bn) investment target in less than a year. The portfolio comprises five newly built mid- and large-bay logistics assets covering 2.1 million sq ft of gross leasable area. Completed between 2020 and 2024, the buildings offer 36- to 40-ft clear heights, ample trailer…
- FIFA opens confidential files on scrapped World Cup private equity plan to Council members
© Reuters Secretary general Mattias Grafström wrote to Council members on 2 November, just hours before a deadline set by UEFA for answers on the scheme, according to multiple reports. Members have two weeks to register their interest, and can only view the files in person at FIFA’s headquarters in Zurich, under conditions designed to protect FIFA’s confidentiality obligations. The documents relate solely to FFE, and FIFA has yet to respond to the wider list of governance questions UEFA sent on behalf of European Council members on 19 October.
