CI Capital Partners Closes Fund III With Capital Commitments Of $750 Million

NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CI Capital Partners LLC ("CI Capital" or the "Firm"), a leading New York-based private equity firm, announced today the closing of its third fund, CI Capital Investors III, L.P. (the "Fund" or "Fund III"). Fund III was in the market for less than three months and closed at the Fund's target and hard cap of $750 million. The demand for Fund III far exceeded the Firm's self-imposed hard cap.

Fund III will continue CI Capital's strategy of making control investments in middlemarket buyouts primarily in North America. CI Capital's senior investment team members have invested together for over a decade through a variety of economic conditions in multiple industry sectors. CI Capital currently has $1.9 billion of assets under management. 

Fund III received strong support from CI Capital's existing investors and the Firm selectively added a new and diverse group of investors including endowments, foundations, pension funds, financial institutions and family offices. Founding CEO Frederick Iseman and the other investment professionals at CI Capital have also made significant personal commitments to Fund III of over $100 million.

"We are pleased to announce the final closing of Fund III. We appreciate the trust both our existing and new investors have shown us," said Frederick Iseman, Chairman and CEO of CI Capital. "The successful fundraising underscores both the strength of our team and our investors' enthusiasm for our investment approach. We look forward to investing Fund III on behalf of all our investors."

"Monument Group was privileged to work with CI Capital on this very successful fundraise," said John McCormick, Managing Director at Monument Group. "The significant investor interest and support was among the strongest Monument Group has seen in our more than 20 year history and is a testament to the CI Capital team's depth and breadth of experience."

Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz served as legal counsel on the Fund III capital raise.
