Q4 deal review

In the process of putting together our Q4 report report for our limited partners, we looked at the range of deals across all public and industry sources for Q4 2006. $161.5 million was distributed across 50 mezzanine and venture debt deals.

This list includes all mezz and venture debt deals (Sept.-Dec.), ranked by lead fund investor (C$ disbursed vs. announced; if a deal was announced but no data was provided, these deals were excluded from the review – such as the two MG transactions):

2. Wellington Financial: $35 million
3. Investment Saskatchewan: $23.9 million
4. ROI Fund: $20.6 million
