Midmarket-focused Nautic Partners aims to raise $2.5bn for its 10th buyout fund, according to a public document from Rhode Island’s public pension system.

If the Providence, R.I.-based firm hits its target, Nautic Partners X LP would be about 60% larger than its predecessor, Nautic Partners IX LP, which closed with almost $1.57bn in March 2019. The fund’s sponsor is expected to commit as much as $100 million to the new pool, documents from the pension system and its investment consultant said.
