The shareholders of leading infrastructure manager DIF Capital Partners have agreed to sell a majority stake to CVC Capital Partners. With this strategic tie-up, DIF will become the infrastructure business line of the CVC platform and it will benefit from CVC's global platform, scale and investor relationships. This will accelerate the growth of DIF, which will continue to operate under the DIF brand and retain independence over its operations and investment decisions. Additionally, DIF will continue to be led by its current CEO and managing partner, Wim Blaasse and the DIF partners.
This combination creates a global private markets manager with seven complementary strategies and approximately €177 billion* of total assets under management.
Our Loyens & Loeff Private Equity team, consisting of Law & Tax advisers, is happy to have played a significant role on this transaction assisting the shareholders of DIF as lead counsel. We want to thank DIF for their trust.
