Arcis Group has held the final close on its latest secondaries fund below its original €350 million target, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The London-headquartered secondaries firm has raised €288.2 million for European Secondary Development Fund V, according to a 19 August SEC filing. The target was lowered to €288.2 million from €350 million in the Form D.
European Secondary Development Fund V launched in July 2014 and has attracted commitments from limited partners including Sweden’s AP Fonden 3 and Houston Firefighters’ Relief and Retirement Fund, according to PEI Research & Analytics. The firm had raised over three-quarters of the target at the end of April, according to SEC filings.
