Daniel Platt, Pathlight Capital Founder and Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are grateful for the support and continued confidence from our limited partners. The strong demand for Fund II strengthens our momentum in the marketplace. The opportunity to prove our all-weather return capabilities during the Covid-19 pandemic, combined with Pathlight's growing team of talented professionals, puts us in an excellent position to continue to lead and agent transactions and create value for our investors."

Stephanie Fatzinger, Investor Relations Manager of Pathlight Capital, added, "We are humbled by the support of such a high-quality group of limited partners, with renewed dollar commitments from Fund I investors exceeding a 1:1 ratio."
