“We are deeply thankful to our many longtime investors that committed to Fund IV and pleased to expand our investor base with a select number of new key relationships,” said Marcus Partners chief operating officer & head of capital Patrick Sousa. “This is strong recognition of our differentiated value proposition and commitment to generating strong returns for investors.”
