CapMan announced on Tuesday that its Natural Capital investment area has completed the first closing of its fourth forest fund (CapMan Dasos European Forest Fund IV). Fundraising for the fund is still ongoing, and CapMan aims to raise a larger amount for this fund than its predecessors (>700 MEUR). The news was expected, as the company had already indicated in its Q3 report that the fund's first closing would occur by the end of the year.
However, CapMan did not disclose the size of the first closing, so it is not possible to assess the company's success at this point. We consider it positive that the company's fundraising has picked up again after a rather sluggish period. This is important because CapMan will have several large funds simultaneously fundraising next year, and success in these is critical for achieving the company's strategic period targets. However, we will have to wait for the Q4 earnings release for more detailed information on the progress of fundraising.
