Greenbriar Equity Group Raises $3.5bn in Oversubscribed Sixth Fund

Greenbriar Equity Group, L.P. today announced the final closing of Greenbriar Equity Fund VI, with total capital commitments of $3.5bn, inclusive of $225m in commitments from the general partner and its network of operating executives.

Fund VI represents the firm’s largest fund to date, receiving strong support from both existing investors as well as an expanded base of new investors globally. Fund VI was significantly oversubscribed at its hard cap, successfully completing the fundraise above its $2.75 billion target after launching in the third quarter last year.

Fund VI will continue Greenbriar’s same 20-plus year strategy of investing in targeted sub-sectors with extended growth themes where its specialization and network can create meaningful advantage. Greenbriar’s portfolio of supply chain, business services and advanced manufacturing companies provide critical technology, services and logistical support across the global industrial and consumer economy. Greenbriar’s focused strategy, deep domain expertise and extensive network of industry relationships have enabled its successful long-term track record.
