Clifford Chance advises Gilde Healthcare on closing of Gilde Healthcare Services II

A Clifford Chance team has advised Gilde Healthcare on the successful first and final closing of Gilde Healthcare Services II, a Dutch lower mid-market private equity fund focusing on healthcare services companies.

The fund had a EUR 75 million target size and closed at its hard cap of EUR 100 million. This brings the total number of Gilde funds concentrating on the health sector to over EUR 500 million. Gilde Healthcare Services will focus on health care companies in the Benelux and Germany with the aim of responding to the trend that care companies have become increasingly dependent on private capital.

Gilde funds focus on specialised clinics, elderly care, primary care, mental health services, outsourcing, medical suppliers and other healthcare companies.

The core fundraising team consisted of Quirine Eenhorst and Matthew Standen and was assisted by Joep Bertrams, Mark-Jan Arends, Willem Specken, Manuel Manders, Marierose Kouwenberg, Marloes Zaman, Leen Kranenburg and Stern Flik, Ate Veenstra and Michiel Sunderman assisted during the pitch process.
