Flexstone Partners’ Global Opportunities IV offering raises USD322m at second close

Like its predecessors, the fund is backed by long-standing Flexstone Partners investors, including Natixis, as well as new, top-tier Institutional investors in Europe, Australia and Asia. The fund will make more than 40 investments in privately-owned companies across the world alongside high conviction managers.

With a focused investment strategy – providing increased exposure to high conviction managers in their core areas of expertise – Global Opportunities IV will follow the same strategy and selection processes as its predecessors which all delivered top-quartile track-record2 with significant risk mitigation (loss ratio <4 per cent over 104 co-investments concluded to date).

“We believe that Global Opportunities IV represents an attractive risk and return investment opportunity for our investors, especially in the current uncertain environment when investors continue to look for yield. Through our proprietary and systematic selection process and thanks to the quality and diversity of our deal flow, we have been able to generate top quartile private equity returns associated with low risks since we started our co-investments fund series in 2008,” says Eric Deram, Managing Partner at Flexstone Partners.
