Bain Capital has completed fundraising for its latest flagship vehicle, Bain Capital Fund XIV, securing $14bn in total commitments, exceeding its $10bn target.

The close includes $11.8bn from external investors, with Bain Capital-related entities providing the remainder and remaining the largest single investor.

The new fund reinforces Bain Capital’s position among the world’s largest private equity managers. Combined with Bain Capital Europe VI and Asia V, both raised in 2023, the firm now oversees more than $27bn across its latest vintage and $68bn in total assets.

Fund XIV will pursue Bain Capital’s global strategy across its core sectors, consumer, healthcare, industrials, services, and technology, with a continued emphasis on operational value creation. Bain Capital’s private equity business employs more than 330 professionals globally, including a 90-member portfolio group dedicated to digital transformation, supply chain, and talent development.

“Bain Capital’s ability to help companies reach their full potential, even in complex environments, has been the foundation of our private equity strategy for more than four decades,” said Chris Gordon, Partner and Global Co-Head of Private Equity. “With the continued support of our investors and the strength of our global platform, Fund XIV positions us to carry this work forward and continue to create lasting impact.”

David Humphrey, Partner and Co-Head of North America Private Equity, said: “In today’s competitive environment, scale without discipline is not enough. Our strategy has always been to focus on opportunities where Bain Capital can bring a true advantage — pairing sector specialists with cross-platform insights and the resources of our global team.”

The firm said that roughly 80% of the value generated across its portfolio over the past decade has come from operational improvements rather than financial engineering, reflecting its hands-on approach to long-term growth and transformation.
