Carey Olsen’s Jersey investment funds team has advised on the successful closing of the FSN Capital Confluence €588 million continuation fund.
FSN Capital Confluence that has acquired two portfolio companies from FSN Capital V. Both FSN Capital Confluence and FSN Capital V are regulated in Jersey as Expert Funds.

The acquisitions aim to accelerate organic growth and pursue strategic M&A opportunities.
