NEW YORK, July 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Palladium Equity Partners, LLC (along with its affiliates, "Palladium"), a middle market private equity firm with over $3 billion in assets under management, today announced that it has completed fundraising for Palladium Equity Partners V, L.P. ("PEP V") with commitments of $1.56 billion.  Palladium's previous fund, Palladium Equity Partners IV, L.P., closed on $1.14 billion in 2014.

PEP V received strong support from existing limited partners and attracted many first-time investors, including well-known corporate and public pension plans, family offices, funds of funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

Marcos A. Rodriguez, Chairman and CEO of Palladium, said: "We are pleased with the strong support PEP V received from existing and new limited partners. Our team looks forward to continuing to apply our disciplined investment process and our GOL™ value creation process to seek to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns."
