Kirkland Advises Alpine Investors in $4.5 Billion Fundraising for Alpine Investors IX, LP
Kirkland advised Alpine Management Services III, LLC, a San Francisco-based private equity firm with offices in New York and Salt Lake City, in the structuring and formation of its latest flagship fund, Alpine Investors IX, LP. After investor cutbacks, the oversubscribed fund hit its hard cap of $4.5 billion with a final closing held on June 30, 2023. Fund IX is approximately double the size of its predecessor fund and expanded Alpine’s investor base significantly with strong support from a diverse and global group of new investors, including endowments, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, insurance companies, fund-of-funds, foundations and family offices. The fund will enable Alpine to continue pursuing its flagship strategy of investing in control buyouts of software and services businesses with total enterprise values of up to $1 billion.
