Summary
Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) has reportedly gathered about $20bn for its thirteenth flagship buyout fund, Fund XIII, within six months of beginning its fundraising, according to AltAssets. The reported total is twice the amount the firm raised over a comparable period for its predecessor fund, a $26bn vehicle closed in 2023.
