Duke Street shelves €850m fundraising plans
Mid-cap GP Duke Street has abandoned plans to raise a €850m vehicle, instead turning to a deal-by-deal fundraising model.
Duke Street hit the road around a year ago; a €250m first close was targeted for December last year but was delayed.
It is understood that the new fundraising structure would see Duke Street receiving both management fees and a remuneration scheme similar to carried interest.
Managing partner Peter Taylor stated Duke Street was looking to raise a more traditional vehicle when investors display more appetite - but that given the level of interest the firm has received for deal-by-deal commitments, the next fund would likely follow a mixed model.
Duke Street's latest vehicle, DS VI, closed on €963m in 2007.
