Spartan recently launched  WLP (Canada) Fund VI LP which allows high net worth investors to access Whitehorse Liquidity Partners’ Flagship Fund VI.  Whitehorse is a US$15 billion institutionally-focused secondary private equity firm that invests in senior positions in a diversified portfolio of seasoned secondary private equity investments.  Unlike most private equity funds, Whitehorse puts investor funds to work quickly – typically completing all capital calls within 18-24 months – and returns investor capital quickly as well – monthly distributions typically commence within the 1st year of the anticipated 6 year life of the fund.  Whitehorse VI, which is targeting to raise US$6 billion, has already raised US$1.3 billion in its initial closing in October 2023.  The next scheduled close is in December 2023.

Teraz Fund invests in special situations in small-/micro-cap end of the spectrum – is an effective a window on emerging developments in the early stages of companies’ life cycles where growth is potentially the highest.  The Fund invests in early-stage companies run by entrepreneurs, including start-ups, listed cash-rich shells and merger & acquisition candidates as well as more opportunistic strategies, including deep value, arbitrage, theme investing and technical trading.  With a strong resource/commodity bias, we believe the Fund is positioned to profit from supply shocks and other disruptions of the type we’ve been seeing.
