L Catterton, the $15 billion private equity firm co-founded by luxury-goods maker LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, has closed its third Asia fund to back more retail and healthcare companies across the region.

L Catterton Asia 3 had a target of $1.25 billion, but remained open after additional investors expressed interest, according to Managing Partner Chinta Bhagat. The fund eventually raised just under $1.45 billion, with less than half deployed.
