Leading alternative investment manager Constitution Capital Partners (CCP) announced the final close of Ironsides V and related segregated mandates with total commitments of $1 billion. This fundraise is CCP’s largest to date and it significantly exceeds the target of $600 million. Plus it represents a significant increase from Ironsides IV, which closed at $755 million in December 2016.

As with the predecessor fund, Ironsides V will focus on investments in primary funds with $400 million to $2 billion in commitments and direct investments in companies with enterprise values between $100 million and $1 billion. And to date, Ironsides V has completed 27 direct investments and 11 fund investments.

The commitments to Ironsides V came from a diverse group of new and existing global investors comprised of leading public pension plans, corporates, Taft-Hartley plans, foundations, endowments, family offices, and high net worth investors.

Ropes & Gray LLP provided legal counsel to Constitution Capital Partners for the formation of the fund.
