Electra says it has about £440m in firepower for future investments but in the current climate deal completion has been slow.
The group's Managing Partner, Hugh Mumford said: "Whilst this has been a quiet period for deal completion, our origination efforts are undiminished and we are seeing the majority of deals in our market.
