American Industrial Partners closes latest fund at $5bn hard cap

Tuesday, October 31, 2023
Opalesque Industry Update - American Industrial Partners, a New York-based industrial-focused private equity firm, closed its eighth fund, American Industrial Partners Capital Fund VIII, L.P. at its hard cap of $5 billion in Limited Partner commitments and was oversubscribed.

Fund VIII achieved its hard cap with broad support from its long-term existing investor base that comprises pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies, endowments, fund of funds, gatekeepers, and family offices, as well as new investors that further diversified AIP's investor base by size, type, and geography.

AIP executes a transformative and self-reliant investment strategy primarily focused on improving operations and growing the earnings of industrial companies by deploying the Firm's deep operational and engineering capabilities. The Firm is characterized by its lead by serving philosophy and its high-performance partnerships with management teams that focus on creating long-term value for all stakeholders.

The Acalyx Advisors team, who previously worked alongside AIP raising Funds IV, V, VI, and VII, together with Finex Hong Kong Limited, served as placement advisors for Fund VIII. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP served as legal counsel to AIP for Fund VIII.
