Highcrest Partners of Los Angeles, an affiliate of Putnam, Lovell, de Guardiola & Thornton, an investment banking firm of San Francisco, is backing the new fund with several million dollars, said Jeff Lovell, head of Putnam, Lovell's private equity unit. Highcrest Partners invests in private companies.
