Nordic unquote" May 2011
The recent weeks have seen a number of funds close as fundraising activity starts to make a more noticeable impact.
April saw three funds hold final closes, and one hold a first close, as GPs look to secure capital for their latest vehicles.
Norway-based venture firm Energy Ventures kicked off proceedings by announcing the final close of Energy Ventures IV, which raised $350m. The fund, which focuses on the oil and gas energy technology sector, managed to achieve the top of its target of $250-350m.
Intera Partners and Priveq Investment were also successful in raising funds, both achieving their hard-caps of €200m and SEK 1.8bn respectively.
