Ironwood raises more than $160m for junior debt

The vehicle is seeking $400m, an increase from its predecessor fund, which closed on $307m.

Ironwood Capital is nearing the halfway point for its latest mezzanine vehicle, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory filing.

The Avon, Connecticut-based firm has locked down $163.89 million toward Ironwood Mezzanine Fund IV, the document showed.

The vehicle has a $400 million target, according to February 2017 meeting minutes from the Connecticut Investment Advisory Council, which made a $50 million commitment to the fund.
