Former SVG Capital chief Lynn Fordham is plotting a return to deal-making with a new private equity fund.
The well-connected City figure, who led FTSE 250-listed SVG until a 2016 takeover, has quietly launched Larchpoint Capital.
It plans to invest in EU and US private equity funds and UK-focused firm worth up to £100 million.
The London-based firm, which employs several former SVG execs, is understood to have already raised a fund from institutions and wealthy investors.
It declined to comment.
Fordham, pictured, came to prominence during a tense three-way takeover battle for SVG in 2016.
The former oil industry executive triggered a bidding war after initially turning down a £1 billion bid from HarbourVest, driving the price up by £100 million.
HarbourVest finally beat Goldman Sachs and Pomona Capital to land the deal.
