Summary
PEI Private Equity's round-up covers three private markets developments. Leon Capital has made a growth investment in VKE Group, a European data center infrastructure business. The source article characterizes the deal as a growth investment, but the primary source provided does not disclose the transaction value or stake size, so those details cannot be confirmed here.
Separately, Truelink Capital has agreed to acquire the global intrusion products business of Johnson Controls. The transaction is a carve-out, through which Truelink will take ownership of the unit from the industrial conglomerate. Financial terms were not included in the primary source.
In an interview with PEI Private Equity, Christophe Bavière, who is now sole chief executive of Eurazeo, described how the French investment firm's focus on the European mid-market is performing. He framed the strategy as delivering results, though the primary source excerpt does not provide specific fund performance or AUM figures.
For institutional allocators and private equity managers, the items point to continued activity in European growth and infrastructure-related investing, alongside carve-out deal flow from large industrial groups.
