Capital Base

At GA, we have a unique capital structure that is integral to the firm's investment strategy and partnership approach. We have approximately $17 billion in capital under management, comprised of commitments of nearly $7 billion from a small number of capital partners (primarily non-institutional investors) and a portfolio value of nearly $10 billion. Our capital partners share our global view on the transformative impact of information technology.

Our ‘evergreen’ structure in which our capital partners make staggered long-term commitments permits GA to take a long-term investment horizon, allowing us to focus our energies on working with our portfolio companies to add value.

Our relationship with our capital partners lays the foundation for our long-term success as investors. Their long-term view helps us to establish an excellent working partnership with the management of our portfolio companies in which all interests are fully aligned: building market leaders.  

 

“The GA partners truly understand what a long term partnership means and their capital base provides this flexibility.”

Mike Greenough,
CEO, SSA Global Technologies
