Apposite Capital raises GBP144.5 million for new healthcare fund

Apposite Capital, a private equity firm with an exclusive focus on healthcare, has successfully raised GBP144.5 million of capital for Apposite Healthcare Fund II and associated vehicles.

Apposite received strong support from existing investors and a well-diversified group of new investors comprising fund of funds, financial institutions, family offices, endowments, foundations and corporates from Europe, Asia and the US.
 
Apposite Capital is dedicated solely to healthcare investment and operates at the small end of the private equity market.

As a result of a strong pipeline, the Fund has already made five investments: Medical Imaging Partnership, MC Care Holdings, NIMGenetics, Swanton Care & Community and OrthoD Group.
 
David Porter, Managing Partner, Apposite Capital, says: “We are grateful for the support received from existing and new investors. It reflects the quality of our team and track record as well as investors’ growing appetite for specialist sector focused managers.  We look forward to further deploying the Fund and to providing growth and small buyout capital to healthcare businesses in the UK and Europe with high growth potential.”
 
Valerie Auffray and Anne-Laure Meynier have also been promoted to Head of Investor Relations & Operations and Investment Director, respectively.
 
Auffray joined Apposite Capital in 2008. She is responsible for fundraising, investor relations, funds reporting, marketing, as well as the firm’s operations.
 
Meynier joined the firm in 2015 and is involved in all aspects of the investment process from originating to executing and managing investments. She serves as a director of NIMGenetics and is an observer on the Swanton Care & Community board.
