Summer Street Capital Partners has held the final closing of its third fund with aggregate capital commitments of approximately $280 million. The fundraise exceeded Summer Street’s $250 million target and represents a nearly 50 percent increase from the committed capital of Summer Street’s second investment fund.
“We are pleased to announce the final close of Summer Street Capital III, L.P. We appreciate the confidence and support received from our new and returning limited partners,” said Michael McQueeney, a Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Summer Street. “We look forward to building lasting relationships with our limited partners, while driving growth within our portfolio to provide attractive returns.”
