CEE – Carlyle spin-out Resource Partners reaches first close

The close sees the EBRD, CEE's largest limited partner, provide an initial EUR 25m, or 49% of the first close, alongside Rabobank and the GP. Resource Eastern European Equity Partners I is seeking EUR 200m for its debut vehicle.

The EBRD may commit up to EUR 40m total, with the remainder coming in after the initial close. Terms for the initial cornerstone investors are deemed 'commercial' so as to help attract other third-party institutions into the fund.

The Resource fund will focus on consumer goods, including the food and agribusiness sector in Poland, corresponding to at least 60% of the portfolio. The remainder will be invested across a range of sectors.

Ryszard Wojtkowski, Aleksander Kacprzyk and Piotr Noceñ will manage the fund based in Warsaw. The three, together with investment director Ma³gorzata Bobrowska-Jarz¹bek, make up the Resource team, all from the previous Carlyle CEE outfit.
