The firm's first fund, Bregal Sagemount I, L.P., was a $650 million investment vehicle. A majority of the capital for this fund comes from Bregal Investments,[2] the investment arm of Cofra Group, a Zug, Switzerland-based holding company formed by the Brenninkmeijer family following the founding of the first C&A store in Europe.

Bregal Sagemount announced Bregal Sagemount II, L.P., the firm's second fund, with $960 million of committed capital on February 7, 2017.[3]

In March 2020, Bregal Sagemount completed the final closing for Breagal Sagemount Fund III at the Fund's hard cap of $1.5 billion, exceeding the target of $1.35 billion.[4][5]
