CVC Capital Partners is preparing to kick off its initial public offering, undaunted by the recent equity market jitters, people with knowledge of the matter said.

The European private equity firm is discussing plans to unveil its intention to float in Amsterdam as soon as the coming days, according to the people. It hasn’t yet set an exact timeline and the announcement could spill into next week, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.
