Private equity firm FIMI Opportunity Funds is raising an eighth fund, its largest to date. The company aims to raise $1.5 billion, half of it from Israeli investors and the other half from abroad. The fund is expected to close by June 2026.
FIMI’s previous fund, worth $1.25 billion, closed at the end of 2020 and was in high demand. Once the eighth fund is completed, the total amount raised by the company will reach $6 billion.
FIMI is Israel’s largest private equity firm, and next year it will celebrate its 30th anniversary. It has recently generated value for its investors through a series of exits. According to its figures, in the past two and a half years, it has acquired shares in twelve companies with a total value of $1.9 billion, and owns remaining shares in them worth $1.18 billion. Its original investments in companies totaled $752 million.
The company’s good results over the years would give it an afterwind in raising new funding, to which the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip could be added, which has held so far, making it easier for foreign investors to justify investing in an Israeli fund.
FIMI buys control of companies and implements measures to enhance their value. To date, it has acquired 108 companies and sold 76 of them for a total amount of more than $9 billion. It invests in a variety of sectors, but avoids real estate and financial companies.
FIMI founder and CEO Ishai Davidi said the company will continue its strategy of acquiring and strengthening companies. He said: “The past few years have been particularly difficult for the Israeli economy and the global economy, with unprecedented events such as the Covid pandemic and October 7, but even during this period we have continued to invest continuously and even significantly intensified our activity. This fact reflects our deep belief in Israeli companies and their economic potential in Israel and around the world.”
Davidi added: “Our experience, stability and financial strength enable us to continue to lead the market, identify strategic opportunities and achieve returns for local and international investors alike.” “FIMI makes a significant contribution to the Israeli economy. Its portfolio companies have created thousands of new jobs and strengthened Israel’s economic position. Consolidations and billions of shekels of investments in companies have strengthened their business in Israel and abroad.”
