Whitehorse Liquidity Partners plans to launch operations in London with a new office in the city by the second quarter of this year.
Officials said that Rob Gavin, partner and senior member of the leadership team at Whitehorse Liquidity Partners, will lead the London opening. Chris Miller will join the Whitehorse team as senior principal and head of EMEA fundraising. Previously Miller was a principal in the London office of Rede Partners, a global placement agent.
Gavin has been at Whitehorse since 2016, joining shortly after the Toronto-based structured liquidity solutions private equity firm’s founding. As the head of the London office, he will work to build Whitehorse’s team in Europe, further strengthen the firm’s footprint across the region and to identify new opportunities for growth.
Since inception, Whitehorse has raised over $12.5 billion in commitments and has deployed over $17.0 billion across over 190 transactions.
“We are increasing our physical presence in Europe at a time when the demand for liquidity solutions continues to grow in Europe and globally,” said Gavin, partner at Whitehorse. “With our expansion into London and Chris joining our team as the first new addition to our growing London team, Whitehorse is poised to continue its growth trajectory as we better serve the EMEA region.”
