The fund will invest up to £10 million in fast growth, small and medium sized enterprises in the UK, the firm said.
Its investors were from the UK, Europe and the US, with the latter accounting for 30 percent of commitments. These were derived from a range of clients, including insurance companies, fund of funds, family offices, and corporate and state pension funds. A number of existing investors re-committed.

It typically invests £2 million to £40 million in transactions of £5 million to £100 million, in companies with profits of more than £1 million.
