Macfarlanes has advised Polus Capital Management on the launch
of its first closed-ended commingled special situations fund, Polus
Special Situations Fund, which has raised commitments of
approximately €890m, in excess of its original target.
The fund will continue Polus’ successful special
situations strategy, investing into entities that are in financial
distress or other special situations within predominantly the UK
and Europe. Commitments for the fund were raised from a diverse
group of investors across the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and
Asia.
The Macfarlanes team was led by Private Funds Partner Stephen
Ross, alongside Associates Amelia Le Coyte, Ashley Mount and Sweta
Tandle. Tax advice was provided by Tax and Reward Partners Joe
Robinson and Alicia Osei, and Senior Associate Rebecca Rose.
