Stone Point Capital, a private equity firm based in Greenwich, Connecticut, focused on financial services and related industries, announced that it held the final closing of its ninth private equity fund, Trident IX, with more than $9bn of total commitments, including approximately $500m in commitments from the General Partner and affiliated entities.

Trident IX reached its hard cap, and received strong support from its existing investor base, as well as first-time commitments from a number of leading institutional investors.

“We are grateful to our limited partners for their continued support, particularly throughout the pandemic and other recent global challenges,” said Chuck Davis, CEO of Stone Point. “We look forward to continuing the proactive, focused sourcing process that has allowed us to consistently identify compelling investment opportunities for over 20 years.”

“We believe that our industry focus, established team and network of long-term relationships will enable Stone Point to continue to deploy capital with best-in-class management teams and create value for our investors,” said Jim Carey, a Managing Director of Stone Point.
