LOS ANGELES, CA – June 8, 2021 – Shamrock Capital (“Shamrock”) today announced the final closing of Shamrock Capital Growth Fund V, L.P.

Shamrock’s private equity funds target companies seeking $25-200 million of equity capital in both control and non-control transactions. SCGF V is managed by the Partners of Shamrock and other investment professionals in Los Angeles, California. Shamrock has approximately $3.5 billion of total assets under management.

“We are grateful for the continued support of our longstanding investors and welcome our new investors as Shamrock looks to continue generating compelling returns for our limited partners around our investment themes,” said Steve Royer, Partner at Shamrock Capital. “We see tremendous opportunities ahead within our targeted sectors and are honored to be working with our talented executives that lead our portfolio companies as they grow their platforms.”
