Brighton House Advises Heartwood Partners on the Raise of Fund IV

We are excited to announce the closing on September 30th of Heartwood Partners Fund IV. The Fund will continue the firm’s 20-year track record of acquiring US lower middle-market, family owned, manufacturing, industrial, and business services companies.

Brighton House advised on the raise and sourced a significant amount of new LP capital for the Fund. New LPs sourced from Brighton House’s network included both institutional and family office investors in North America and Internationally.

The fund closing adds to Brighton House’s strong fundraising year, which has been the strongest in our history, and demonstrates our ability to raise significant capital in a challenging fundraising environment. Our differentiated background in private markets intelligence allows us to leverage a significant global footprint of LP relationships, producing results on par with global agents but with a boutique, client-focused approach.
