Tar Heel Capital Closes First €50 Mln SmallCap Fund THC 2

Polish PE firm Tar Heel Capital has successfully closed its first fund after raising EUR 50 mln. The fund set-up is a divergence from Tar Heel’s typical modus operandi, which, for the past decade, has been to invest in target companies on a case-to-case basis. The new fund, known as THC 2, had Athos Partners as the only placement advisers. Tar Heel expects to take advantage of the high-quality deal flow and the low competition in the Polish small cap market with the new fund.
