SINGAPORE, Dec. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Novo Tellus announced today the swift completion of fundraising for its third private equity fund, Novo Tellus PE Fund 3, L.P. (the "Fund"). The Fund surpassed its fundraising target by 36% and closed fundraising at its hard cap of US $510 million in commitments. 

The Fund completed its raise six months after holding its first closing in June 2023, with 100% of its existing institutional investors re-committing to the Fund, joined by a distinguished set of new limited partners from around the world.

"While we are happy to complete fundraising in a difficult environment, we remain unflinchingly focused on our core business of partnering with great management teams to invest in growth and compound value for all stakeholders.

The technology supply chain continues to re-order itself on a massive global scale today, creating important opportunities for skilled investors to help management teams navigate complexity and capitalise on new growth opportunities. Our specialised investment model gets better and better as we keep accreting experience, relationships, and successful outcomes in our sector over time. We will continue to focus our energies and experience on growing this singular sectoral advantage over time as we develop and grow Fund 3 with our stakeholders".
