Secondly, it has committed to ECI 8, a £225m UK buyout fund targeting the lower mid-market segment. Thirdly, Quartilium has invested in Banexi Ventures IV, a EUR 130m French early-stage fund investing both in life sciences and information technology companies. Fourthly, it has invested in Capzanine, a EUR 150m French mezzanine fund, focusing mainly on the lower mid-market segment in France.
