We tend to dwell on the challenges of the #privateequity fundraising environment, while these stories fly under the radar: Kingswood Capital Management, which started life as an independent sponsor, has closed its third fund in just over 3 years. The firm, led by ex-Cerberus Capital Management PE exec Alex Wolf, took roughly 90 days to raise $1.5bn for Fund III, beating its initial target. 

How is the firm bucking the trends in fundraising, especially for emerging managers? Well defined strategy, strong performance and the ability to return proceeds to LPs in a reasonable time frame.

“There’s been an increased receptivity towards strategies like ours that have a focus around complexity, a focus on value,” Wolf told Buyouts in a recent interview. “Both our strategy and our track record really resonated with investors in this environment.”

Kingswood Capital Management (“Kingswood”) is thrilled to announce the closing of our third institutional fund. 

Fund III was substantially oversubscribed, closing with commitments of $1.5 Billion, inclusive of a 5% commitment from the general partner and its operating network. Our team is grateful for the support and trust of both our continuing and new investors, and we look forward to expanding our capacity to drive value and growth for partners in the middle market.
