Unigestion plans to suspend fundraising for the European mid-market buyout fund of funds and infrastructure vehicle, placing its main focus on the secondary and sustainability sectors in the first half of the year.

Unigestion's move comes as a number of general partners to which it planned to allocate money have delayed going to market. Of Unigestion's preferred European mid- and small market general partners, three funds will be in the market in late 2009, said Hanspeter Bader, managing director and head of private equity.
