ICG, the global alternative asset manager, today announced the completion of fundraising for its North American Credit Partners Fund III (“NACP III” or “Fund III”), following strong demand from a diverse, global group of new and existing investors.

NACP III achieved a total fund size of $1.9bn, representing a 50% increase in client capital compared to the predecessor fund. Fund III has already made four investments to date, and has an attractive pipeline of additional opportunities.

Established in 2014, ICG’s North American Credit Partners strategy provides private debt financing to private equity-sponsored middle-market companies and independent corporate borrowers in North America, typically investing in businesses with $25m to $250m of EBITDA. The tenured team, led by Brian Spenner, is comprised of senior investment professionals with an average of over 20 years of private debt investment experience.
