Committing to CD&R?

I am working as a LPs and the portfolio is top heavy and moving more to MM managers.  We have never invested with CD&R before and am wondering if that is even a good idea.  Clearly CD&R has generated strong returns with a bit high volatility (i.e. losses). Fund XI is a $15.6bn Covid Fund (2020 vintage) and struggling.  Fund XII is a $25bn Fund (2023 vintage) which is going well but still unproven.  The question is that CD&R Fund XIII is a $26bn Fund while successful track record only goes back to $10bn Fund size.  Can XIII be a net 2x/20% Fund (I can take a Fund net +2.0x but 18% IRR but 2/20% more ideal)? Just curious what people's thoughts are.
