John Maldonado discusses Advent’s $30 billion fundraise on Bloomberg TV

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Managing Partner John Maldonado shares that Advent has raised $30 billion across its global fund complex, comprising close to $27 billion for its 11^th flagship fund and over $3 billion for its new mid-market strategy.

Managing Partner John Maldonado joined Bloomberg's Open Interest to discuss Advent's fundraise announcement. He pointed to two reasons for investors' support: Advent's pure-play private equity model and track record of returning capital, and a firm built to deploy that capital with discipline across 18 offices and five core sectors. He also discussed why a successful exit begins at underwriting, how Advent evaluates AI as both an opportunity and a risk across new and existing investments, and why remaining a focused, independent partnership keeps the firm aligned with its investors.
