The US-reported view
The sections below draw on US regulatory filings — SEC Form ADV and Form D — and on US investors' own disclosures. They set out Cinven's US-reported slice: the funds, service providers, domiciles and activity visible in US filings, not its worldwide business.
1. US-SEC private funds
This page reports $43.1bn of gross asset value across 46 private funds that Cinven reports on SEC Form ADV, filings through 2024. Its firm-wide figures are in the Assets summary at the top of this page, measured on a different basis.
A worldwide fund-vehicle roll-up is not available from the entity register for this manager.

2. Service providers
Deloitte audits 44 of the 46 Cinven funds that name an auditor on Form ADV Schedule D, filings through 2024 — more than any other firm. Aztec Financial Services (Guernsey) Limited administers 45 of the 46 that name an administrator, on the same filings. Relationships the filings attribute to Cinven's own group are part of its structure, not third-party appointments, and are left out of these counts.
Across the funds that disclose each role on Schedule D — the count is funds naming that provider, of funds disclosing the role at all:
| Fund administrator | Aztec Financial Services (Guernsey) Limited (45 of 46); Aztec Financial Services (Luxembourg) S.A (1 of 46) |
| Auditor | Deloitte (44 of 46); Delloitte LLP - Guernsey Branch (2 of 46) |
| Custodian | Aztec Financial Services (Guernsey) Limited (10 of 11); Aztec Financial Services (Luxembourg) S.A. (1 of 11) |
3. Fund domiciles
29 of Cinven's 46 SEC-reported private funds are domiciled in United Kingdom, its largest single domicile on Form ADV, filings through 2024. Guernsey is next, and the bars below give the rest in order.
4. Fund filing activity
The 1 most recent of the 1 US private-fund filings for this manager's funds. The filings state no amount sold, as is common on Form D.
| Issuer | Type | Amount sold (as filed) | Filing year | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cinven Eden Limited Partnership | Private Equity Fund | not stated | 2026 | filing |
5. Fund performance
Every figure here is a disclosing pension plan's own, on that plan's own reporting date. Nothing is blended into a manager-level return, because no plan published one.
Per-fund net IRR, multiple and DPI as disclosed by the pension plans invested in the funds — the LPs' own numbers, on their own dates, not the manager's. One row per plan disclosure. Where two plans hold the same fund and report different numbers, both rows show, with their dates:
| Fund | Plan | Net IRR | Multiple | DPI | Reported as at | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cinven Fund VIII | CalSTRS | 20.3% | 1.13 | 0.0 | 30 June 2025 | CalSTRS private equity performance report |
| The Eighth Cinven Fund | Washington WSIB | 8.5% | 1.0 | 0.07 | 31 December 2025 | WSIB private equity IRR report |
| Eighth Cinven Fund | Oregon OPERF | — | 1.04 | 0.05 | 31 March 2026 | Oregon Treasury OPERF private equity portfolio |
| Cinven Seventh Fund | Washington WSIB | 10.4% | 1.4 | 0.26 | 31 December 2025 | WSIB private equity IRR report |
| Seventh Cinven Fund | Oregon OPERF | 9.2% | 1.36 | 0.24 | 31 March 2026 | Oregon Treasury OPERF private equity portfolio |
| Cinven Sixth Fund | Washington WSIB | 17.1% | 2.0 | 1.58 | 31 December 2025 | WSIB private equity IRR report |
| Sixth Cinven Fund | Oregon OPERF | 16.7% | 1.99 | 1.56 | 31 March 2026 | Oregon Treasury OPERF private equity portfolio |
| Cinven Fifth Fund, L.P. | Washington WSIB | 16.9% | 1.6 | 1.49 | 31 December 2025 | WSIB private equity IRR report |
| Fifth Cinven Fund | Oregon OPERF | 16.7% | 1.63 | 1.49 | 31 March 2026 | Oregon Treasury OPERF private equity portfolio |
| Cinven Fourth Fund | Washington WSIB | 7.5% | 1.5 | 1.46 | 31 December 2025 | WSIB private equity IRR report |
| The Fourth Cinven Fund | NYC Police | 7.3% | 1.44 | 1.44 | 30 June 2025 | not available |
| Cinven Third Fund | Washington WSIB | 31.9% | 2.1 | 2.07 | 31 December 2025 | WSIB private equity IRR report |
| Cinven Second Fund | Washington WSIB | 9.4% | 1.6 | 1.62 | 31 December 2025 | WSIB private equity IRR report |
| Cinven Fund | Washington WSIB | 17.2% | 1.7 | 1.68 | 31 December 2025 | WSIB private equity IRR report |
Young vintages sit in the J-curve: an early negative IRR mostly reflects fees drawn before value is realised, and is not a verdict on the fund.
