The Fund will co-invest alongside the Blackstone led consortium in the acquisition of a majority stake in the Financial and Risk division of Thomson Reuters, to be known as Refinitiv, a transaction that valued it at approximately US$20 billion.

The Fund was significantly oversubscribed and has a mix of high quality institutional investors, family offices and HNW professional investors.

This is Canson's first co-investment vehicle which demonstrates the validity of Canson's strategy connecting sources of Alternative Capital with unique opportunities to deploy it.

Matteo Canonaco co-founder of Canson Capital Partners said: "We are very excited to be partnering with a group of very high quality investors to create our first merchant banking fund. It is envisaged, and core to our strategy, to co-invest alongside our clients in situations such as the Refinitiv transaction where Canson acted as Lead Financial Adviser to the Blackstone led consortium"

James Simpson co-founder of Canson Capital Partners said: "The closing of the Fund marks a very successful first year for Canson Capital Partners. We have a unique approach in delivering strategic solutions that combines long term independent advice with discrete pools of alternative capital to the benefit of our clients."
