Leading international law firm Clifford Chance advised Montefiore Investment, the leading investor in French service SMEs, on the final closing of Montefiore Investment IV, a €420 million fund, thus hitting its hardcap.

This fundraising, with an initial target of €350 million, was realized in only 3 months and represents a true vote of confidence from investors. It confirms Montefiore Investment’s position as a leading investment platform in French growth oriented service SMEs. This fundraising brings Montefiore Investment’s total assets under management to over one billion euros.

The fund has attracted a diversified investor base of prominent institutional investors including in particular new fund of funds and very long term investors (insurance companies, banks, pension and government funds, university endowment funds) located in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. The strong existing investor base also renewed its confidence in Montefiore Investment's team.

Clifford Chance advised Montefiore Investment on this successful fund raising with Xavier Comaills, partner, Marie Préat, Stéphanie Guers and Charles Ouaknine, associates.
