Secondaries specialist Keyhaven seeks €500m for new fund

Dec 2, 2020 | News

London-based firm Keyhaven Capital Partners is seeking €500m for its Keyhaven Secondaries Fund III and a related feeder fund, according to a regulatory filing.

The secondaries private equity firm focuses on the European lower mid-market and considers structured transactions, direct secondaries and partnership deals, according to its website.

The firm closed its second secondaries vehicle in December 2017 and collected a top-up fund last year, a separate filing indicates.

In June this year, the firm appointed Alma Lawrie to strengthen its investor relations and fundraising teams. Lawrie has previously held similar roles at Samena Capital and Gulf Capital.

Keyhaven was founded in 2003 and has since raised more than €2bn in capital and made more than 60 investments. Recent deals include contact research organisation Optimapharm and fruit and vegetables producer and exporter Agrupapulpi.
