New Mountain Closes $4.13 Billion Private Equity Fund

NEW YORK, NY October 9, 2014 – New Mountain Capital today announced the final closing of its fourth private equity fund, New Mountain Partners IV, L.P. (“Fund IV”), with $4.13 billion of equity capital commitments, including $4.0 billion of third party Limited Partner commitments and over $130 million from the General Partner and affiliated investors.
The fund, which had a target of $3.0 billion, was oversubscribed at its hard cap of $4.0 billion of Limited Partner commitments.

“We thank our Fund IV investors for their friendship and partnership,” said Steven B. Klinsky, founder and CEO of New Mountain. “We will do our best to reward their confidence with strong performance.”

New Mountain Capital’s mission is to be “best in class” among alternative asset managers as measured by returns, control of risk, service to its limited partners and the quality of the businesses it builds. New Mountain emphasizes acyclical growth and “value added” business building, rather than reliance on excessive risk, as the best path to high and consistent returns.

Since 2000, New Mountain has invested in 29 companies, including three for Fund IV thus far: ACA Compliance, Alexander Mann Solutions and Medical Specialties Distributors. New Mountain currently has approximately $15 billion of assets under management, including its private equity, public equity and debt investment efforts.
