GTCR, a leading private equity firm, today announced the closing of GTCR Fund XIV (“Fund XIV” or the “Fund”), with aggregate commitments of $11.5 billion. The Fund, which had an initial target of $9.25 billion, reached its hard cap.

This committed equity capital of Fund XIV positions GTCR and its investment teams with the resources to invest through periods of uncertainty and varied economic conditions.
