Kensington Capital Partners Limited today announce a commitment of US$1.5 million by Kensington Global Private Equity Fund to Bain Capital Fund X, L.P., a private equity fund managed by Bain Capital LLC pursuing investments of varying sizes around the world.

Kensington Global Private Equity Fund offers individual investors a diversified portfolio of world-class private equity investments, including private equity funds and direct investments in private companies.

Traditionally, investments in private equity have only been available to investors who could meet very high minimum investment thresholds. Kensington Global Private Equity Fund was established to make these investment opportunities available to the broader investing public.

Kensington Capital Partners Limited is Canada’s leading independent private equity fund investor, founded in 1996. To date, Kensington has received commitments of over $350 million for private equity investments through its fund-of-funds and direct co-investment programs.
