Northleaf Capital Partners has announced that it has raised an additional US$4 billion in commitments over the past twelve months from North American, European and Asian investors. As a result of recent fundraising across its three core private markets investment programs, Northleaf has now raised more than US$18 billion in capital commitments and serves approximately 200 institutional investors globally.
“We continue to see strong demand for our mid-market global private markets strategies and are actively working with investors to identify opportunities to generate long-term value for them and the beneficiaries they represent,” said Stuart Waugh, Managing Partner at Northleaf. “With support from existing and new investors, Northleaf has generated significant growth across all aspects of our platform.”
Northleaf has continued to grow its global team, hiring additional investment team members in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. to serve the needs of investors and further enhance its local presence in key markets. The firm recently announced the appointment of Shane Feeney as Managing Director, Global Head of Secondaries, to lead and expand its global secondaries investment program. Prior to joining Northleaf, Feeney served as Senior Managing Director & Global Head of Private Equity at CPP Investments. In addition, Northleaf has expanded its senior business development team on the ground in the U.S. and Australia with the appointment of Sarah Silverman as Managing Director, Business Development (US) and Chris O’Connor as Managing Director, Business Development (Australia & New Zealand). Northleaf also plans to add new offices in other key markets in 2022.
“The continued expansion of our global team and office network reflects the fact that we believe that it is important to have expertise on the ground in our key markets to meet the needs of our investors, portfolio companies and transaction partners, as interest and demand in our mid-market strategies continue to grow,” added Waugh.
