Trive Capital Fund V
Trive Capital, under the leadership of Managing Partner Conner Searcy and the firm’s partnership group, is making significant strides in the private equity sector with the launch of its fifth flagship buyout fund, Trive Capital Fund V.
The Dallas-based firm aims to raise $2.5 billion, with a hard cap of $2.8 billion, marking a substantial increase from its predecessor, Fund IV, which closed at $1.6 billion. This ambitious target highlights Trive’s confidence in its investment strategy and its ability to navigate the current economic landscape.
Trive’s Strategic Vision
Fund V’s launch comes when high interest rates and market volatility create dislocation opportunities that Trive is well-positioned to exploit. Searcy and the firm’s leadership team have a strategic vision that focuses on complex deals where speed and certainty of closing are critical. This approach includes investing in family-owned businesses in transition, underperforming companies, operationally challenged businesses, and niche market opportunities.
Investment Philosophy and Value Creation
Under Searcy’s leadership, Trive’s investment philosophy is centered on tackling managerial and operational challenges to unlock value. The firm targets North American mid-market companies with revenues between $40 million and $1.5 billion. Typical control investments range from $10 million to $250 million in equity or debt per platform.
A Legacy of Leadership
The prior experiences of the firm’s partnership group have been instrumental in shaping Trive’s success. Searcy’s background has given him the experience and insight necessary to steer Trive through complex deals and market uncertainties.
