Ansor, a UK-based ground-up buy-and-build private investment firm, has held the final close of its second fund, Ansor Fund II, at its investor hard cap of £250m. Almost twice the size of the firm’s prior fund which closed in 2019 on £130m.
Ansor Fund II was a significantly oversubscribed with a carefully curated group of high-quality LPs investing. The investor base includes a diversified mix of returning LPs and new commitments, with numerous leading US-based endowments and blue-chip European investors added to the platform.
According to a press statement, Ansor Fund II will execute the same strategy as its predecessor fund and look to build high-quality assets through rapid “ground-up” buy-and-build consolidation within fast-growing yet fragmented subsectors. “Ansor will continue to target resilient, EBITDA-positive businesses that can be driven through multiple value inflections by executing its precision-engineered value creation approach.”
Rede Partners acted as global fundraising advisors to Ansor.
