As well as secondary transactions, the fund will invest in new funds and co-investments.
Investors include a mix of new and existing global institutional investors.

Pantheon said it has invested capital in seven transactions, worth 19% of the fundβs capital and has three other transactions close to completion.
Pantheon has appointed Evan Corley, a principal in Pantheonβs investment team, as head of natural resources, a new role in its global infrastructure and real assets team.
