STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eaton Partners, one of the largest placement agents and fund advisory firms and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF), is pleased to have acted as lead placement agent for Colbeck Capital Management (“Colbeck”), a leading middle-market private credit firm focused on strategic lending.
Colbeck’s third flagship fund, Colbeck Strategic Lending III (the “Fund” or “CSL III”), raised $700 million in capital commitments, exceeding the target by 40%. This oversubscribed fundraise received strong support from both existing Colbeck clients and new investor relationships globally, including public and private pensions, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, consultants, registered investment advisors, and large family offices. The Fund’s successful final close brings Colbeck’s current invested and committed capital to $3 billion.
“We are grateful for the tremendous support we have received for the Fund from both new and existing investors,” said Colbeck’s Managing Partners and Co-Founders, Jason Beckman and Jason Colodne. “We believe it reflects investors’ confidence in our differentiated approach and team, as well as underscores growing institutional appetite for time-tested and specialized private credit strategies.”
“Colbeck’s all-cycle investment strategy, executed by a highly engaged and experienced team, was well received by institutional investors,” commented Global Co-Head at Eaton Partners, Eric Deyle. “We appreciate our partnership with Colbeck, and we wish the team ongoing success as they continue to differentiate themselves through specialized private credit strategies.”
