Private equity firms are becoming more and more of a force in fashion and style because in reality their bottomless pockets are simply the aggregation of capital from very many investors. Private equity investors known as Limited Partners (or LPs) are primarily made up of high net worth individuals, pension funds, endowments, foundations, sovereign wealth funds, etc. CVC made this acquisition out of its sixth fund which aggregated a total of €10.5 billion in 2013.
