CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Frontier Capital is pleased to announce the final closing of its third private equity fund, Frontier Fund III, L.P., with $250 million in capital commitments.
The fund exceeded its initial target of $200 million thanks to strong support from existing investors along with new commitments from other leading institutional investors including public and private pensions, fund of funds and family offices.
“We are thrilled by the continued support we’ve received from our existing partners and very pleased to welcome several strong additions to our investor base,” remarked Richard Maclean, Managing Partner. “Our success in raising Fund III is a testament to our focused approach and the strength and quality of our team.”
Frontier has completed three initial Fund III investments, deploying $50 million of capital in the last 15 months, including Celergo, a provider of consolidated global payroll services; Healthx, a provider of online healthcare portals to health insurers, medical providers and employees; and eVerifile, a provider of background risk assessment, administrative support and workforce solutions.
