Fund Management

Blue Horizon is in the process of launching two Luxembourg domiciled collective investment vehicles:

Blue Horizon Fund 1 SICAV-RAIF SCSp (RAIF) focuses on illiquid, closed-ended sub-funds with a long-term investment view. The first sub-fund, UK Capital Growth, was launched in December 2023.

For clients with an appetite for short to medium-term investments in daily tradeable securities, Blue Horizon is launching a Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) with sub-funds focusing on leveraged fixed income and structured products. Both sub-funds are planned for second quarter 2024.

In addition, there are plans to launch sub-funds with the following themes later in the year:

Balkan opportunities
Super prime real estate (London)
Trade finance

UK Capital Growth

We focus on growth-oriented businesses in the UK that have been underserved by traditional providers of both debt and equity. The typical situations in which the fund will provide funding solutions include:

Growth capital

with the potential for partial cash-out for founder shareholders

Bolt-on acquisitions

to support a buy and build strategy

Company acquisition

backing the incumbent management, acquiring either a minority or majority equity position

"When looking at the rationale and opportunity set for the UK Capital Growth Fund, what stood out was the fact that raising capital for growth has been difficult for management teams operating at the smaller end of the market. This has been exacerbated due to rising interest rates, the traditional funders vacating this space and the increasing operational hurdles to seek investment. I have established Blue Horizon UK Capital Growth Fund to address these challenges. The breadth of our product range and the experience of our team in the debt and equity space provides management teams with innovative, pragmatic and competitive solutions."
