5th Century Partners Announces Final Close of Fund II Above Target at $276 Million

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--5th Century Partners (“5CP”), a purpose-driven private investment firm that partners with healthcare and business services companies that have outsized growth potential, today announced the final close of its second fund (“Fund II”) above target at $276 million in total commitments, nearly double the size of its predecessor fund. The Fund received strong support from a diverse group of both new and existing investors, including endowments and foundations, corporate and public pension plans, insurance companies and family offices. With the closing of Fund II, 5CP now manages over $550 million across its funds and co-investment vehicles since launching in 2020.

Fund II will continue 5CP’s strategy of partnering with founder-owned and operated lower middle market businesses, often as the first institutional capital, to accelerate growth and value realization. Drawing on its deep sector knowledge and thematic sourcing approach, 5CP works closely with management teams to scale operating infrastructure, strengthen finance functions, develop talent and leadership, and drive growth initiatives that position businesses for long-term success. This collaborative model is enhanced by the firm’s network of operating executives and industry advisors and its in-house Portfolio Optimization Practice, which provides companies with bespoke resources and fit-for-purpose strategic plans led by a dedicated team.

“We are pleased to announce the close of Fund II and are grateful for the strong support from our existing limited partners as well as the opportunity to welcome several new investors,” said Marques Torbert, co-founder and managing partner of 5th Century Partners. "Fund II positions us to continue partnering with exceptional founder-owned companies in healthcare and business services, applying the same disciplined approach that has defined our strategy.”

Bruce Hampton, co-founder and managing partner of 5th Century Partners, added, “This close is a testament to the team we've built and the rigor we bring to every investment. Fund II allows us to do more of what we do best: identify exceptional companies and deploy capital with discipline."

To date, 5CP has completed four platform investments in Fund II including Capstone Hospice, My Favorite Therapists, and Southern Paving & Milling, representing approximately 42% of committed capital.¹

Commenting on the fundraise, Chris Webber, Partner at Monument Group, said, "It was a pleasure to support 5th Century Partners on the successful close of Fund II. The strong investor demand is a testament to the firm's proven ability to create value in founder-owned businesses, and the team's exceptional track record of partnership and performance.”

Monument Group, Inc. served as the exclusive placement agent for the Fund.
