Gilde raises €50m for latest fund

The Utrecht-based fund complements Gilde Healthcare Partners three existing funds, which invest in medical R&D, diagnostic products and medical devices.

The fund was launched in 2009, with first close held in February 2010 and a target of €50-75m. Final closing was expected in 2010 but was extended.

Gilde Healthcare Partners manages €450m in total.

Investors
Commitments were made by institutional and private investors and family offices.

The fund targets specialist clinics, elderly and primary care, disease prevention, mental health, service laboratories and other healthcare services sectors. The investment focus lies on high quality cost-efficient organizations.

Gilde already made its first investment from the fund in 2010. Capital went towards Stepping Stone Home & Care, a UK-based chain of nursing homes for the elderly.

The company expects to announce a new investment within the coming weeks.
