Fundraising

EOS Fund I follows a period of deal-by-deal investing for the lower-mid-market focused firm.

Hong Kong’s CLSA started incrementally reducing its involvement from the Sunrise Capital general partner with the launch of Fund III in 2017, PEI understands.

Term amendments giving GPs more time to manage out funds will likely increase as the pandemic pushed back exit timelines for many firms.

“While no one in the leadership team is going anywhere soon,” Northleaf managing director Jeff Pentland told Buyouts, “we want to start thinking about succession planning now rather than 10 years from now."

Seaside was founded in 2017 by Andrew Thompson, previously a managing director and partner in Wafra's direct equity group, where he focused on lower mid-market buyouts.

Documents seen by PEI detail Dyal HomeCourt Partners' investment strategy, fund terms and perks.

The investment firm has launched a fund of limited size and timing to find discounted opportunities, managing director Duncan Zheng tells PEI.

The firm doesn’t appear to be having problems attracting capital in the pandemic, at a time when limited partners are primarily committing to established managers.

The shift to virtual has resulted in more touchpoints with LPs and it can be challenging to assess whether these will turn into commitments, a report by Campbell Lutyens has found.

MKH, founded by Annette Rodriguez, a former Warburg Pincus managing director, and Miguel Heras, a former Inversiones Bahía managing director, is backed by the Motta and Kazma families.
