Preservation Capital Partners Hits Hard Cap £309m ($400m) for Financial Services Focused Fund

Preservation Capital Partners (“Preservation Capital”), a specialist investor  in the asset-light financial services sector, today announces the closing of Preservation Capital Partners Fund I (“the Fund”) at its hard cap of £309 million ($400 million).

The fund was significantly oversubscribed and includes a diverse group of global investors, including public pension plans, funds of funds and institutional family offices. Launched in Q4 2019, a substantial part of the fund was raised during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Preservation’s focus on highly resilient, asset-light, recurring-revenue business models in the financial services sector underpinned the success of the fundraising.

The Fund will invest in a focused portfolio of three to five platform companies within the asset-light financial services sector across Western and Northern Europe.

Jatender Aujla, Managing Partner and Founder of Preservation Capital said: “We are delighted to announce our debut fundraise with the backing of an exceptional group of investors for our uniquely focused investment approach. We pride ourselves on being a sector specialist investor and backing entrepreneurial, founder-led businesses that operate in sub-sectors that are positioned to experience significant growth. We are committed to driving outsized returns for the management teams that we back and the investors that support us.”
