Private equity firm Terra Firma may start marketing its new fund early in 2012, Reuters reports. The size of the new buyout fund is expected to be between €2 billion and €3 billion.

The fund may receive investments from nearly 50% of the firm’s existing investors. The offering will make around half the size of its €5.4 billion third fund, which was raised in 2007.
