Olympus Partners closed its latest vehicle, Olympus Growth Fund VIII, securing $3.5bn in capital commitments, including discretionary pools.

The fund targets middle market buyouts and received strong support from both long-standing and new investors.
The fundraise builds on momentum from the firm’s recent performance, with $6bn distributed to investors over the last three calendar years. Since its inception in 1988, Olympus has raised over $12bn across eight institutional funds.

The Stamford-based firm, led by founder and CEO Rob Morris, continues to focus on core sectors including healthcare, industrials, financial services, and consumer products. Its investment team includes nine general partners and a dedicated in-house team managing a suite of co-investment and executive funds.

Olympus emphasises long-term relationships with LPs that understand the illiquidity profile of private equity. The firm’s enduring investor base reflects this approach, with many limited partners backing Olympus for decades.
