Lindsay Goldberg has raised $4.9 billion for its sixth flagship fund, an oversubscribed close that exceeded the firm’s $4.0 billion target and marked a step-up in scale versus its prior vehicle. The fund, Lindsay Goldberg VI L.P. and related vehicles (collectively Fund VI), closed more than 40% larger than Fund V, underscoring continued limited partner demand for the firm’s focused, relationship-driven approach to private equity investing.
The New York-based firm said the vast majority of Fund V investors recommitted to Fund VI, joined by new global LPs. The investor base spans a mix of public and private pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, asset managers, family offices, and high net worth investors across North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Australia.
The close comes after what the firm described as a period of momentum. In 2025, Lindsay Goldberg generated more than $1.5 billion in realizations, bringing cumulative realizations to over $26 billion. Since its founding in 2001, the firm said it has raised $24 billion of equity capital and invested $17 billion across 66 platform companies and more than 350 add-on acquisitions.
Fund VI is already deploying capital. Ahead of its final close, the fund has invested in two family-owned businesses: Golden State Foods, a scaled supplier to the quick-service restaurant industry, and EMCO, a chemical distributor serving diverse end markets across North America. Lindsay Goldberg said Golden State Foods generated a material partial realization within the first ten months, highlighting what the firm views as early proof points for Fund VI’s investment and value-creation model.
Consistent with prior funds, Lindsay Goldberg said Fund VI will continue to focus on opportunities in industrials, services, and healthcare—sectors the firm views as resilient across economic cycles—while partnering with families, founders, and management teams seeking to actively build enduring businesses. The firm noted that it brings a global network of affiliate partners to support sourcing, diligence, and value creation.
By growing Fund VI beyond target size and maintaining strong re-up participation, Lindsay Goldberg is positioning itself to pursue larger or more complex control and partnership investments while maintaining its stated sector focus and partnership-oriented strategy. The firm indicated that investor demand reflects confidence in both the consistency of its approach and its long-term track record.
