Our Cayman team recently advised Acorn Capital Management ("Acorn"), a private equity firm focused on aerospace, defense, intelligence, and space sectors, on the closing of a single-asset continuation fund, extending Acorn's partnership with Sentry Aerospares.
The transaction successfully provided a liquidity option to existing investors while securing additional capital commitments from new investors in order to further drive Sentry's global growth as a leader in the distribution of high-value, hard-to-find commercial aircraft rotable components.
Our Investment Funds team was led by partners Caroline Williams, Andrew Barker and Christine Ballantyne-Drewe with assistance from senior counsel Daniel Walford and associate Suman Kaur. Regulatory advice was provided by partner Colm Dawson. Proskauer Rose LLP acted as onshore counsel to Acorn.
Our assistance on this cross-border transaction highlights our continued work across the secondaries space, advising leading asset managers in respect of continuation vehicle transactions.
