Greenbriar Equity Group announced the final closing of Greenbriar Equity Fund VII, L.P. with total capital commitments of $5.4 billion, marking the firm’s largest fund to date. The fundraise was significantly oversubscribed, surpassing its $4.25 billion target, and was completed on an accelerated timeline following a first close in December 2025.
Fund VII drew strong backing from existing investors, many of whom increased their aggregate commitments compared to the firm’s prior fund, alongside a broad group of new institutional investors. The majority of new investors came from outside the United States, reflecting continued expansion of Greenbriar’s investor base across geographies and investor types.
The new fund will continue Greenbriar’s long-standing strategy of investing in targeted industrial sub-sectors aligned with durable growth themes. The firm focuses on supply chain, aviation and defense, business services, and advanced manufacturing companies that provide critical enabling technologies, services, and logistical support across the global industrial economy. Greenbriar attributes its long-term track record to its focused investment approach, deep sector expertise, and extensive network of industry relationships.
Evercore served as Greenbriar’s exclusive global placement agent for the fundraise, and Kirkland & Ellis, LLP acted as fund counsel.
Founded more than 25 years ago, Greenbriar is a private equity firm investing in market-leading services and manufacturing businesses. The firm has more than $15 billion of cumulative capital commitments and targets companies led by experienced management teams positioned to capitalize on strong long-term growth prospects, supported by Greenbriar’s sector expertise, strategic insight, and operating capabilities.
