TA Raises $16.5 Billion for Fifteenth Global Private Equity Fund 2023

TA Associates (“TA”), a premier global private equity firm, has completed fundraising for its latest flagship fund, TA XV, with $16.5 billion in total limited partner commitments. Launched in late November 2022, TA XV exceeded its initial target size and was oversubscribed.

“We are extremely grateful for the strong support of our limited partners during the TA XV fundraise,” said TA CEO Ajit Nedungadi. “During a time of macroeconomic uncertainty, the sustained trust and confidence of our investors in our investment strategy is especially energizing.

We relish the opportunity to advance our strategy by partnering with visionary founders and management teams to create enduring value in exceptional businesses.”

TA XV is the successor to TA XIV, which reached its hard limit in June 2021 and closed at $12.5 billion. As with its precursor equity funds, TA XV will target equity investments in high-quality companies capable of sustaining growth in the technology, healthcare, financial services, consumer and business services sectors.
