Bain Capital today announced the final close of Bain Capital Asia Fund VI, raising $10.5 billion in total capital, including approximately $9.1 billion of external commitments, exceeding its original target of $7 billion. In keeping with the firm’s heritage across all its funds, Bain Capital partners, employees, and related entities committed the balance of capital and collectively are the single largest investor in the fund.

Across Asia, Bain Capital has built a fully integrated platform spanning Japan, India, China, Australia, and Korea, with nearly 200 investment and operating professionals investing across Technology, Industrials, Consumer, Healthcare, and Business and Financial Services. The platform also benefits from close collaboration across Bain Capital’s global private equity and adjacent businesses including Credit, Insurance, Real Estate, Special Situations, and Tech Opportunities, which bring additional expertise, flexibility, and resources to complex opportunities across the region.

“Bain Capital’s private equity business has always been built around helping companies realize their full potential through operational improvement, strategic change, and close partnership with management teams,” said Yuji Sugimoto, Partner and Head of Asia Private Equity.

“Over the past 20 years, we have built those capabilities into our Asia platform in a way that combines local insight with the broader strengths of Bain Capital, and that has enabled us to deliver strong outcomes for our investors and partner companies across market cycles. We continue to see significant opportunity across the region, and we are investing in our people, our technology, and the broader capabilities of the platform so we can keep scaling in a disciplined way and delivering over the long term.”
