The latest fund will continue to build on the firm’s track record of being the first institutional investor into founder and entrepreneur led businesses.

The fund received commitments from existing investors with a 100% institutional re-up rate from Fund II and a group of new investors including pension funds, insurance companies, endowments and foundations, financial investors and family offices.

The Macfarlanes team was led by investment management partner Stephen Robinson alongside partner Harriet Miller and associate Hannah Collinson. Tax expertise was provided by partner Mark Baldwin.

Stephen Robinson comments: “We are delighted to have advised FPE Capital once again on the raising of their latest fund, highlighting the firm’s specialist strategy and expertise.”

David Barbour, Managing Partner at FPE Capital comments: “We are very pleased to have achieved a final close of FPE Fund III at its raised hard cap. Stephen and his team provided timely and valuable advice and support throughout the process.”
