And they came in very, very strongly.
So they filled out most of the capital need that we had.
And beyond that, we've been very strategic.
There are certain areas and certain types of capital that we think could be a base for our long-term success and growth.
So we brought in one large state program, and we feel that could be a way for us to build that type of investor base.
For the first time, we went outside the U.S.
and got a number of high-profile institutions and family offices in Europe and the Middle East.
We think that we can significantly expand that.
So while availability was limited, we used those limited slots to bring in what I would consider strategic investors who can really help us grow our capital base.
Absolutely.
Our portfolio construction has a number of attributes.
First, we believe in starting out small and over time building our position.
So if we are looking to invest $100 particular business, we may start out at 50 or less.
And over time, as we professionalize the business,
and we scale the business through acquisitions, we put in more capital.
So building position over time is the first thing that we think about.
Secondly, because we operate not just in middle market, but at the smaller end of the middle market, we look to create a diversified portfolio for every fund.
So we have typically around 15 or so active positions per fund.
If we have early wins, we give the profits to our investors, recycle the cost basis.
So have some of our capital make return more than once.
