TA Completes $16.5 Billion Fundraise for Fifteenth Global Private Equity Fund

BOSTON & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TA Associates (“TA”), a leading global private equity firm, today announced the completion of fundraising for its latest flagship fund, TA XV, with total limited partner commitments at its hard cap of $16.5 billion. Launched in late November 2022, TA XV was oversubscribed and exceeded its initial target size.

“We are deeply grateful for the strong support of our limited partners during the TA XV fundraise,” said Ajit Nedungadi, Chief Executive Officer at TA. “Amid a period of macroeconomic uncertainty, our investors’ continued trust and confidence in our investment strategy is particularly energizing. We embrace the opportunity to further our strategy, partnering with forward-thinking founders and management teams to build lasting value in exceptional businesses.”

TA XV is the successor to TA XIV, which closed in June 2021 at its hard cap of $12.5 billion. As with its predecessor equity funds, TA XV will target equity investments in high-quality businesses capable of delivering sustainable growth within the technology, healthcare, financial services, consumer and business services sectors.

“At TA, we are driven by a shared desire to help exceptional businesses reach their full potential,” said Hythem El-Nazer, Managing Director at TA. “With TA XV, we will continue to leverage our decades of industry experience, strategic value-add resources and extensive global network to support portfolio company management teams as they work to accelerate profitable growth.”

Since the firm’s inception in 1968, TA has invested in more than 560 companies across its target industries, with over 120 companies in the portfolio today. TA’s global team of more than 150 investment professionals are united by a common culture and partnership-oriented approach to investing.

“We thank our limited partners, both returning and new, for their conviction in TA’s investment strategy and culture, and for their thoughtful engagement throughout the fundraising process,” said Andrew Harris, Director of Investor Relations at TA. “With TA XV, we are excited to continue our focus on transparency and alignment with our limited partners as we seek to deliver exceptional results.”

TA XV received capital commitments from a diverse global network of existing and new investors, including public and private pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, endowments, foundations, family offices and insurance companies.
