IR Profile: IK Investment Partners’ Mads Ryum Larsen
IK Investment Partners’ latest mid-market buyout fund – the €1.85bn IK VIII – was its first vehicle raised without a placement agent. The Drawdown speaks to partner and head of IR, Mads Ryum Larsen about raising the fund in-house.
The Drawdown (TDD): When was the decision made to raise IK VIII in-house?
Mads Ryum Larsen (MRL): In any firm’s evolution, you come to a point when the IR function becomes larger, so your dialogue with the investors is more continuous than a fundraising-driven function, and we came to that conclusion after we raised our first small-cap fund.
