Alternatives fund manager Blue Sky has successfully completed a $47 million capital raise for its LIC vehicle.

The Blue Sky Alternatives Access Fund Limited announced on Friday the successful completion of a $47 million capital raise.

The funds were raised through a one for three non-renounceable entitlement offer to existing investors and a shortfall offer to new investors, according to a statement by Blue Sky.

The shortfall facility was opened on Thursday, 10 November offering 22,090,078 new shares, and was closed on the same day after being "heavily oversubscribed".
