The New York-based firm is seeking $800 million altogether for the fund,
The firm appears to have lowered its sights for its latest partnership.

Kleinman did not return calls seeking comment.
Founded in 1981, Harvest Partners makes equity investments of up to $100 million in companies with enterprise values of $100 million to $600 million. The firm targets deals in the general industrial, consumer and retail, and business services sectors.
