SOF II received significant backing from existing Post Road limited partners as well as new investors globally, including pension funds, fund of funds, university endowments, private foundations, and family offices.
SOF II invests in a range of corporate strategies, including secured credit, structured equity, and special situations in middle-market technology, media, telecommunications, and business services sectors.
