This Week's Fund Closings

• Chicago-headquartered Thoma Cressey Equity Partners has held a final close of its eighth fund with $765 million in commitments. The private equity firm had initially targeted $650 million for the fund, but increased the size to accommodate demand from the firm’s current investors. The fund will be invested largely in middle-market companies in the software and healthcare industries, as well as in other areas, including business services and consumer products and services. TCEP’s previous fund closed at $554 million and is expected to be fully invested the next few months.
