Legend Capital, a subsidiary of China’s Legend Holdings, announced that it has closed its healthcare continuation fund — LC Healthcare Continued Fund I — having raised $270 million from a secondary transaction.
A continuation fund is a vehicle that takes on the portfolio assets of a vintage fund that is nearing the end of its lifespan. LPs are given the option to cash out, or to stay invested by recommitting to the new vehicle.
The latest secondary transaction involved assets from Legend Capital’s two older vehicles, the VC firm said in a statement. The latest fundraising was “co-led by accounts managed by Hamilton Lane and Coller Capital, with participation from other institutional investors”.
