Boka is targeting $300m for its third defence fund. Private Equity International reports that the firm began raising the strategy in the second quarter and expects a final close by the first quarter of next year.
Boka CEO and founder John James said its portfolio companies are landing meaningful contracts sooner than they would have a few years ago. He tied this to higher defence and security budgets across European and allied governments.
