Another 40 percent came from German investors, including insurance company Wurttembergische Versicherung AG and the remaining 20 percent came from limited partners in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. The group’s debut Secondary Opportunities Fund raised $775 million in 2007, according to PEI’s Research and Analytics division.
