Palatine Private Equity Forms Buyout Fund V

PCA 6231 Palatine Private Equity NT

Private Capital Advisory Engagement Overview

Harris Williams advised Palatine Private Equity, a private equity firm focused on regional companies in the U.K., on the closing of their largest-ever fund, Palatine Buyout Fund V. Closing at £254 million, the firm exceeded their target for the fundraise and had both very strong re-ups from existing investors, as well as interest and support from a wide range of new LPs.

Palatine attracted a number of new investors across Europe to complement existing investors from the U.K., the Nordics, and the U.S. Given a challenging fund-raising environment, Palatine is extremely pleased to have raised their largest-ever fund quickly and above target. This success is a testament to the team’s ability to consistently generate strong returns.

Palatine’s Buyout Fund invests between £10 million and £50 million in established, profitable, and predominantly regional companies in the U.K. lower mid-market focused primarily in three core sectors: business services, technology, and financial services.

Through their unique regional sourcing model and three-person Origination Team, Palatine is able to identify and acquire attractive investment opportunities in U.K.-based, founder-owned businesses, leveraging their deep local networks and extensive history in these markets. The firm has an extensive history of deploying a buy-and-build strategy to drive scale and maximize synergies, having acquired over 220 add-on acquisitions. Furthermore, as a certified B-Corp and the fourth-highest scoring PE firm in Europe, Palatine integrates institutional ESG capabilities and accelerates portfolio growth through a dedicated seven-person Value Enhancement Group.
