Last week we closed on a new fund, Horizon 2018 – a seven-year investment vehicle which secured £200 million of commitments from a group of blue-chip institutional investors led by Pantheon and Idinvest Partners alongside other investors including Lombard Odier, HQ Capital and eQ Asset Management.

Our partners, Jeremy Hand, Simon Hitchcock, Adam Lewis, Luke Kingston and Martin Squier will lead our strategy of making equity investments of between £10 – £50 million in high-growth businesses with a particular focus on creating value through buy-and-build strategies.
