Kenan-flagler Private Equity Fund

The Kenan-Flagler Private Equity Fund is a student-run fund with more than $4.4 million of committed capital under management. The fund launched in 2007 and is the first and only student-run fund associated with a leading U.S. business school that seeks to provide real returns to its limited partners. The management team is comprised of 7 Kenan-Flagler students: 4 second-year MBAs and 3 senior BSBAs. All students serve a 3 semester term with the program. The Fund seeks to invest in a mix of buyout, mezzanine debt, growth capital and venture capital deals, all sourced through the fund's LPs and the network of UNC Kenan-Flagler alums that are active private equity professionals. In addition to its own portfolio of companies, KFBSF Private Equity Fund I, L.P. has made a strategic investment in Halifax Fund II.

The Fund typically invests $50,000 to $200,000 in syndication with leading investment funds, with no investment exceeding 20% of committed capital.
