Nexxus Capital announced the final closing of its sixth institutional private equity fund, Nexxus Capital VI, with capital commitments of $550 million. The Fund was oversubscribed, significantly exceeding its original target of $400 million.
In addition to strong support from existing and new local institutional investors, Nexxus Capital VI has attracted commitments from new investors from North America, Europe and the Middle East. Pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, and endowments account for the majority of the investor base.
Nexxus VI is comprised of two vehicles: a Mexican public vehicle listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange and an Ontario limited partnership. Both vehicles will co‐invest on a pro‐rata basis according to total available resources of each vehicle.
MVision Private Equity Advisers acted as lead global fundraising adviser. Santander and Citigroup acted as joint‐bookrunners for the Mexican vehicle.
Nexxus Capital VI expects to make equity and equity‐related investments in midsize companies primarily in Mexico, where there is an opportunity to institutionalize family or entrepreneurially owned businesses. Nexxus Capital’s approach focuses on the implementation of operational efficiencies and maximizing liquidity value after taking portfolio companies public or selling to strategic or industry buyers, which is a continuation of the successful investment strategy applied to its prior funds.
