Welsh Carson raising $4B fund

  Share     E-Mail    Discussion    Print Story
Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe is in the midst of raising $4 billion for a new investment fund, the private equity firm's co-founder Russell Carson said off-handedly Wednesday at The Deal's Healthcare Dealmaking Symposium.

The vehicle is targeted higher than the information/business services and healthcare-focused buyout firm's last two funds -- Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe X LP, a $3.4 billion equity fund; and WCAS Capital Partners IV LP, a $1.3 billion dedicated subordinated debt fund.
 
Welsh Carson isn't the only buyout firm marketing a new vehicle. Chicago's Beecken Petty O' Keefe & Co. is close to a final closing on a $650 million vehicle for healthcare investments, according to LBO Wire. And Kohlberg & Co. wrapped up its sixth middle-market private equity fund with $1.5 billion on Tuesday. - George White
