History

In April 2007, Lion Capital established a North American presence, opening an office in New York.[2] That same year, Lion Capital raised its second private equity fund, Lion Capital Fund II, with approximately €2.0 billion of investor commitments.[6][7]

In 2010, Lion Capital formed its third private equity fund, Lion Capital Fund III, which ultimately included capital commitments of €1.5 billion.[2][8]

In October 2012, the North American office was relocated from New York to Los Angeles.[9]
