Metropolitan Partners Group, a New York-based direct lender, could raise double the amount it gathered for Fund IV with its fifth flagship in 2018, Private Debt Investor has learned.
The firm is aiming to hold a final close in Q4 this year, according to a source with knowledge of the firm. Fund V has a $250 million hard-cap, which could be at least double the $100 million to $125 million raised for its predecessor, the source noted.
Fund V has a $200 million target and has already raised at least $65 million, SEC filings show.
Metropolitan declined to comment on fundraising.
