Kensington Capital Partners, an independent Canadian private equity manager, has announced a commitment by the Kensington Global Private Equity Fund to Kilmer Capital Fund II, a Toronto-based private equity fund.
According to Kensington, the Kilmer Capital Fund focuses on companies seeking financing for expansion, acquisitions, management buyouts, leveraged buyouts, restructurings, recapitalisations and privatisation.
The Kensington Global Private Equity Fund offers individual investors a diversified portfolio of private equity investments, including hard-to-access private equity funds and direct investments in private companies.
The Kensington Global Private Equity Fund was established to make private equity investment opportunities, traditionally only available to investors who could meet very high minimum investment thresholds, available to the broader investing public. The Kensington Global Private Equity Fund continues to review other investment opportunities.
Kensington Capital Partners was founded in 1996 and to date has received commitments of more than CAD350m for private equity investments through its fund of funds and direct co-investment programmes, with investors including institutions such as pension funds and professional asset managers as well as high net worth individuals and retail investors.
