Stone Point Capital has successfully closed its tenth private equity fund, Trident X, raising $11.5 billion in commitments, significantly surpassing its $9 billion target. This marks the largest fundraising effort in the firm's history, with strong support from both existing and new institutional investors, including a notable $750 million contribution from the General Partner and affiliates. The fund has already initiated its investment strategy, beginning with Ultimus Fund Solutions.
Trident X's fundraising success highlights Stone Point Capital's robust reputation in the financial services sector. The new fund is approximately $2.5 billion larger than its predecessor, Trident IX, which closed in 2022 at $9 billion. The firm aims to continue its strategy of partnering with owner-operators in the global financial services industry, a focus it has maintained for over 30 years.
Chuck Davis, Chairman and Co-CEO of Stone Point Capital, reiterated the firm's commitment to identifying exceptional businesses and helping them create lasting value. The investment period for Trident X commenced in May 2025, and the fund's first investment has already been made in Ultimus Fund Solutions, a provider of comprehensive fund administration services.
The backing for Trident X has been robust, with strong participation from returning limited partners and first-time commitments from several leading institutional investors globally. The significant investment from the General Partner and affiliates indicates a strong alignment of interests between the firm and its investors.
