Post Road Group Closes More Than $1 Billion in New Capital Commitments in its Corporate Investment Strategy
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Post Road Group, an alternative investment advisory firm focused on private credit and private equity investments in digital infrastructure, real estate, and specialty finance, today announced the final closing of its most recent flagship fund in its Corporate investment strategy, Special Opportunity Fund III ('SOF III'), with $525 million in total capital commitments. Additionally, Post Road held the final closing for Post Road Digital Infrastructure Fund II ('PRDI II') with $500 million of total capital commitments in early June. Post Road's Corporate investment strategy provides flexible growth capital to predominantly lower middle market digital infrastructure, TMT, software, and managed services businesses. SOF III exceeded its $500 million target fund size following strong support from a diverse group of institutional investors including public pension plans, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, and family offices, among others. To date, Post Road has invested in five portfolio companies, representing approximately 45% of total SOF III commitments. The near-term investment pipeline remains robust, with several additional opportunities currently in late-stage diligence. In addition, Post Road closed on $500 million of capital commitments for PRDI II which will exclusively invest growth capital in a data center platform. Post Road believes the secular tailwinds driving growth in the data center market, combined with the company's recently signed contracts and additional near-term opportunities with both hyperscalers and large enterprises, present an attractive opportunity to deploy risk-adjusted capital. 'The digital infrastructure industry continues to evolve, and we believe there are considerable opportunities to deploy capital and serve as a strategic investment partner to companies in support of their growth initiatives,' said Michael Bogdan, Co-Managing Partner of Post Road Group. 'Our mission is to identify, collaborate, and partner with exceptional management teams to help them scale their businesses. We are grateful for the confidence our investors continue to place in us, and we look forward to achieving shared long-term success.' Post Road Group's Corporate investment strategy specializes in making private credit, private equity, and structured equity investments in the digital infrastructure, telecommunications, media, software, and business service industries, with a focus on the lower-middle market. The firm seeks to invest in high-growth companies with experienced management teams to form enduring partnerships. Post Road Group is an alternative investment advisory firm that currently manages approximately $3.1 billion of capital across its four distinct, complementary investment strategies which include Corporate (Digital Infrastructure), Real Estate Credit, Real Estate Equity, and Specialty Finance. Since inception in 2015, the firm has committed and invested $4.2 billion of capital on behalf of institutional investors across the world. The firm is based in Stamford, CT.
