Eurazeo closed its latest direct lending fund at €3.9 billion this week, marking one of Europe’s largest private credit raises of 2026. This move comes as institutional investors shift capital away from traditional bank financing toward alternative lenders that offer more flexible terms. However, the firm has yet to outline specific deployment targets, leaving some ambiguity regarding how the fund will navigate current credit market volatility. The success of this raise suggests that private credit will likely remain a primary source of corporate liquidity for the remainder of the year.
