Morgan Stanley Investment Management Closes Inaugural Growth Equity Investment Fund Oversubscribed at $1.3 Billion
Fund seeks to partner with category-defining private companies, combining flexible capital with the broader capabilities of the Morgan Stanley Integrated Firm
Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM) today announced the final close of the inaugural North Haven Growth & Innovation Fund (NHGIF or the Fund), oversubscribed with $1.3 billion in capital commitments. The Fund seeks to leverage the Integrated Firm, bringing together capabilities across Morgan Stanley's Investment Management, Institutional Securities and Wealth Management divisions, and drawing on the breadth of the Firm's relationships across the private growth ecosystem. Underscoring the Firm's alignment with investors, Morgan Stanley and its affiliates and employees collectively committed 24% of the Fund's capital.
Commenting on the fundraise, Pedro Teixeira, Managing Director, Private Credit & Equity at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, said, "Many of today's leading growth companies are staying private for longer, with more value creation occurring in the private markets. We believe this creates an opportunity to partner with category-defining companies, providing flexible capital and drawing on the broader capabilities of Morgan Stanley to support them as they scale, while providing investors exposure to some of today’s most compelling growth companies at the forefront of technological innovation."
Part of MSIM's $280 billion Alternatives platform, NHGIF focuses on private companies that have a track record of strong execution, high growth and exceptional leadership, operate in large addressable markets, and benefit from sustained technological innovation. The Fund provides flexible capital across primary and secondary transactions, including company-led liquidity solutions. Investments to date include Databricks, Anduril and Ramp.
“Morgan Stanley’s relationships with growth companies can span their entire lifecycle, from early capital formation through private-market financing, strategic advisory, liquidity and ultimately the public markets,” said David N. Miller, Global Head of Private Credit & Equity at Morgan Stanley Investment Management. "This connectivity across Morgan Stanley’s ecosystem enables the Firm to support founders and management teams as their businesses scale.”
Beyond providing capital, Morgan Stanley is a strategic partner to portfolio companies, supporting these organizations throughout their lifecycle. Morgan Stanley has been a leader in providing capital markets, advisory, and investment capabilities to founders, entrepreneurs and established companies as they move from formation and growth to scale, liquidity, public markets access and long-term value creation.
