Nomura raises new EUR400m mezzanine fund
The European arm of Japanese Investment bank Nomura has begun raising a new EUR400m mezzanine fund for Europe. The fund will invest junior debt, often with equity-type characteristics, to support European private equity transactions, providing up to a quarter of the deal value. This is the second mezzanine vehicle raised by the bank, following on from a EUR175m fund that was closed in May 2007 and is now fully invested. The bank hopes to attract around 10 institutional investors, as it did with its first fund.
