Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has advised Winterflood Securities, as financial adviser and sole bookrunner, on the US$700 million secondary fundraise for The Schiehallion Fund, an investment company managed by Baillie Gifford.
The Fund’s investment objective is to generate capital growth for investors by making long term minority investments in later stage private businesses, which it considers to have transformational growth capabilities and the potential to become publicly traded. The fundraise, which is one of the largest secondary fundraises for a London-listed investment company, represents the third instruction for Stephenson Harwood from Winterflood Securities in 2021.
The Stephenson Harwood team comprised partner Alex Haynes and senior associate Nick Horton.
