History
Established in 2012 by former executives from Goldman Sachs and Great Hill Partners, Bregal Sagemount's Managing Partner, Gene Yoon, previously headed Private Capital Investing at Goldman Sachs in New York.
The firm's first fund, Bregal Sagemount I, L.P., raised $500 million, with the majority of capital provided by Bregal Investments, the investment division of the Cofra Group—a Swiss holding company founded by the Brenninkmeijer family, known for the C&A retail enterprise.
On February 7, 2017, Bregal Sagemount announced the launch of its second fund, Bregal Sagemount II, L.P., which secured $960 million in committed capital.
In March 2020, the firm completed fundraising for Bregal Sagemount Fund III at its $1.5 billion hard cap, exceeding the initial target of $1.35 billion.
Most recently, in October 2022, Bregal Sagemount finalized Fund IV at a $2.5 billion hard cap—representing a 66% increase over Fund III—with full participation from Limited Partners and a 130% dollar value re-up rate.
