Bridgepoint Group’s assets under management (AUM) reached $94.1bn (£70.4bn) in 2025, though the firm cautioned over potential secondary impacts from the Middle East.
The London-listed alternative asset manager reported that its AUM increased by 24.5 per cent in 2025, up from $75.6bn in December 2024. Also during the year, €8.1bn (£7bn) was returned to fund investors, exceeding the €5.5bn drawn.
Bridgepoint said €14bn was raised during the year towards its €24bn fundraising target by the end of 2026. The firm also deployed €7.8bn of capital in 2025, down from €10bn in 2024.

The firm also highlighted the growth of its secondaries platform during the year with the addition of Newbury Bridgepoint, following its acquisition of mid-market secondaries firm Newbury.
“Bridgepoint posted an impressive performance in 2025 with funds across our platform continuing to deliver for the world’s top institutional investors,” said Raoul Hughes, chief executive. “This underpins our confidence in delivering our fundraising target of €24bn by the end of 2026.”
Hughes said the Middle East represents nine per cent of the firm’s total AUM and that Bridgepoint has continued to secure new capital commitments from the region into its current fundraisings.

“Whilst there will inevitably be some secondary impacts relating to current events, particularly in respect of the price of energy and corresponding inflationary pressures, I believe we’re as well-positioned as we could be,” Hughes said.
While private credit is largely insulated from the Middle East conflict, rising oil prices and interest rate pressure could still potentially rattle the market, some commentators have warned.
