AltAssets – Florida’s State Board of Administration has launched a $250m growth capital fund of funds that will invest in technology and growth-related businesses with a presence in the US state.
The Florida Growth Fund, to be managed by private equity fund of funds manager Hamilton Lane, will invest on behalf of the Florida Retirement System Pension Fund.
“Florida needs leadership to develop economic growth, because this is one of the biggest issues currently facing our state,” said Attorney General McCollum, one of the SBA’s Trustees. “We have to find a balanced way to stimulate our economy and solve these problems rather than simply relying on federal handouts.”
