Bahrain – Investcorp, a global alternative investment firm headquartered in Bahrain, announced that its GP staking division, Investcorp Strategic Capital Group (ISCG), has completed a commitment of over $1.25 billion to Investcorp Strategic Capital Partners II and related vehicles (ISCP II). This includes $1.1 billion in fund commitments and $155 million in additional committed co-investment capital.
ISCP II closed more than 75% higher than ISCP I in a highly selective private market financing environment, highlighting the differentiated nature of ISCG’s strategy and the strength of its LP relationships. After ISCP II funding, ISCG AUM totaled over $2.4 billion.
ISCP II has received meaningful support from existing limited partners, with the majority of ISCP I investors increasing or maintaining their commitments. ISCG also expanded the geographic reach and diversification of its investor base across the U.S. insurance and private wealth channels while securing new investors across Asia, Europe, Latin America and the GCC. In particular, ISCG continues to expand its network of relationships with wealth managers, registered investment advisors, single-family and multifamily offices, and high-net-worth individuals, resulting in deeper and broader penetration of this large and growing pool of investor capital.
Beyond the Fund’s commitments, certain investors have also committed a total of $155 million in co-investments, and ISCG plans to offer co-investment opportunities to LPs in future ISCP II investments. Beyond direct co-investments, ISCG has also facilitated LP allocations to partner GP funds.
Commenting on this important milestone, Investcorp Executive Chairman Mohamed Araldi said: “Since we launched our growth strategy 10 years ago, we have proven ourselves to be the value-added partner of choice in the middle market across asset classes and geographies.”
“Our GP staking strategy epitomizes this approach and we look forward to supporting more talented GPs and expanding their reach and capabilities in the coming years,” he said.
“We are deeply grateful for the support and belief of our limited partners who believe in the platform we have built to accelerate growth and extend longevity for mid-market general practitioners,” said Anthony Maniscalco, managing partner and principal at ISCG.
“The successful closing of ISCP II reflects the strength of our strategy and the trust we have built with investors around the world. The GP staking strategy has become a core element of our investor allocation, and we are excited to continue to be an active and hands-on partner to the portfolio,” he added.
As one of the first active investors in mid-market GPs, ISCG aims to deploy large-cap institutional tools and resources to support mid-market GPs. ISCG’s approach focuses on supporting GPs with funding in key investor channels, strengthening strategy and product development, and accelerating further development of GPs’ internal infrastructure.
ISCG supports middle-market, high-growth private capital managers with assets ranging from $1 billion to $10 billion. Since its establishment in 2019, ISCG has supported over a dozen GPs investing in private equity, private credit, real assets, infrastructure, structured capital and secondaries.
ISCP II has made three investments to date, with a fourth investment expected to close later this year, including Monomoy Capital Partners, MML Capital, Banner Ridge Partners and Vauban Infrastructure Partners.
ISCP II and its predecessor GP partners have more than $105 billion in total assets under management. ISCG expects to build a portfolio of approximately 10 partner GPs for ISCP II following a disciplined and diversified portfolio construction approach.
