Fundraising

The preferred equity specialist has raised $2bn for Whitehorse Liquidity Partners Fund III, less than one year after launching the vehicle.

The investment manager has raised $235m for a global real assets fund, 10% of which will be invested via secondaries.

The investment bank's secondaries unit is eyeing a final close on the vehicle in the first quarter of next year.

The firm founded by former Siguler Guff principal Tony Cusano received nearly half of the total raised so far from cornerstone investor New Mexico Educational Retirement Board.

Lexington Capital Partners IX has raised nearly $12bn, according to a filing with the SEC, making it the largest pool of secondaries capital amassed to date.

The Rothschild secondaries unit is backing a €210m deal to open the Paris-listed manager's growth portfolio to third-party investors.

The secondaries house is seeking $9bn for Coller International Partners VIII and is understood to have already deployed more than $1bn from the vehicle.

A significant portion of the capital is part of an expanded secondaries-focused mandate with Canadian pension fund CDPQ.

Infrastructure Partners II is targeting $1.5bn, more than treble the amount raised for Landmark's first infrastructure secondaries programme.
