The fund attracted commitments from sovereign wealth, public and private pension funds, financial institutions, foundations, endowments, and family offices, CVC said. The firm's maiden vehicle had raised 3.9bn in 2016.
The Strategic Opportunities platform seeks out stable opportunities with attractive risk-reward profiles which require a longer-term outlook to unlock growth.

Lorne Somerville, Co-Head CVC Strategic Opportunities said: "We are delighted to have closed CVC Strategic Opportunities II.
