Four months of additional fund-raising netted
MDV’s fund-raising effort first came to light in August, when it filed SEC documents showing that it had raised a combined $98.1 million in annex funds for its seventh, eighth and ninth core funds. Last week’s updated filings show that the grand total increased to $127.3 million.
The fund IX annex fund faired the best from the additional effort. It boosted its total to $72.1 million, up from $45.3 million on Aug. 7. The Dec. 3 filing indicates that’s a final close, as the line for “total remaining to be sold” says zero.
MDV had previously raised $580 million for the core fund IX vehicle in September 2007. The additional annex capital brings the total to $652.1 million.
The fund VIII annex fund also got a bit of a boost. It held a final close on $27.9 million, according to the Dec. 3 filing, up from $25.5 in August. MDV had previously raised $400 million for the core fund VIII vehicle in March 2005, so the new total for MDV’s eight fund is $427.9 million.
The firm’s seventh fund did not (or could not) raise any additional capital since August. It held a final close on $27.3 million. With the annex capital, fund VII now totals $477.3 million. MDV actually raised $850 million for its seventh fund back in 2000, but it later reduced the size after the Internet bubble burst.
