Yukon Partners announced the final closing of Yukon Capital Partners V, L.P., and its associated parallel funds (Fund V) with total commitments of $765.2 million. Fund V was oversubscribed, exceeding its $700 million target and closing at its hard cap.
Fund V will offer mezzanine capital to middle-market businesses, continuing its strategy from prior funds, most recently Yukon Capital Partners IV, L.P., a 2020-vintage, $626 million fund.
