Walter Financial commits $100 mln more to Walter Capital

Canadian private equity firm Walter Capital Partners has received a $100 million capital commitment from its family-owned parent, Walter Financial, adding to an initial $100 million investment made went the firm was launched two years ago. The new money was supplied with Walter Capital's deployment of more than half of the original amount to such investments as Bonlook, a fashion eyewear company, and SPUD.ca, an omnichannel grocery company, both of which were financed last month. Led by Managing Partners Pierre Fitzgibbon and Éric Phaneuf, Walter Capital will continue to back the growth strategies of small and medium-sized businesses.
