Valor Equity Partners
Valor Equity Partners, the private equity investment firm based in Chicago, has held its final closing of a fund, reaching a total of $1.7 billion in client subscriptions. 

The Valor Equity Partners V portfolio was oversubscribed, Valor said in a statement yesterday. With the new entity’s assets, Valor now runs about $7.3 billion in assets from investors including family offices, high net worth individuals, and institutions.

As in Valor's prior growth fund, Fund V will make initial investments ranging from $25 million to $75 million with the possibility of additional capital to support companies as they grow, the firm said.

Valor also has offices in New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle.

Fund V began investing in January 2020 and has deployed about $775 million, principally into 14 growth platform investments.

Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal advisor and Mercury Capital Advisors, LLC, its affiliates, and its sub-agent HMC Capital Management Group, including its affiliate HMC Itajubá Latam Capital Advisors, served as placement agents in various jurisdictions to Valor in connection with Fund V.
