The council at its meeting Tuesday committed $75 million to New Mountain Partners Fund V, a private equity fund managed by New Mountain Capital. The fund will target control buyouts of companies with $200 million to $1 billion of enterprise value based primarily in North America. This is the first time the council has committed to a New Mountain fund.
The council also committed $50 million each to TPG Growth Fund IV and TPG The Rise Fund, managed by TPG Capital. Both funds will make growth equity and buyout investments. The Rise Fund will be expected to meet a minimum level of social impact. The council has invested with TPG in the past.
And the council made a $50 million commitment to BlackRock Global Renewable Power Fund II, a value-added global renewable power strategy.
