Trive Capital: Fund V Closed With $2.7 Billion In Commitments 

By Amit Chowdhry • Apr 8, 2025

Dallas-based private equity firm Trive Capital announced the final closing of Trive Capital Fund V, with total commitments of $2.7 billion, exceeding its target of $2.5 billion. And Trive’s predecessor program closed in April 2022 on $2 billion. 

Fund V will continue investing in middle-market companies with a sector-agnostic but situation-specific approach. And the Fund aims to create value through a hands-on operational approach. 

Fund V has already made seven investments, demonstrating Trive’s off-the-run sourcing, deep value, and operationally focused investment strategy. Over the last 12 months across all funds, Trive executed 10 platform investments and 19 add-on investments and completed three exits and dividend recapitalizations, most recently completing the successful IPO of Karman Space & Defense. 

Campbell Lutyens worked as a global placement agent, and Ropes & Gray LLP acted as fund counsel.
