Infinity announces $200m fund

Manchester-based private equity and property fund manager Infinity has closed its third fund at $200m and said more than half of it will be spent outside the UK.

Daniel Finestein, managing partner at Infinity, commented: "The launch of this $200 million fund marks a major expansion for Infinity as we focus on larger and more international deals. We've already announced our first deal with the purchase of the Manchester International Office Centre and are looking at a number of very exciting investment opportunities."

The third fund brings Infinity's total assets under management to $400m. The firm is targeting equity investments of between $5m and $25m in established companies that are seeking funding for development, acquisitions, refinancing or buyouts.

Infinity was advised on the launch of the fund by HBJ Gateley Wareing LLP.
