The fund closed with USD2 billion in commitments, exceeding its target of USD1.5 billion. The investors are based around the world and it will continue its strategy of investing in businesses in key industries of the global financial services sector: financial technology, insurance, investment management, business services, credit and healthcare.
The fund has made three equity investments so far: CoAdvantage; a professional employer organisation that provides a range of insurance and human resources solutions for small and mid-sized companies; Ontellus, a medical records retrieval and claims evaluation services company for insurance carriers and law firms and Elm Street Technology, a real estate technology and marketing services provider.
