Chris O’Brien, Managing Partner at Wynnchurch, said, “We are excited about Fund V and how our team is positioned today to invest with the same value-oriented/operationally focused strategy we have developed and refined over the last 20 years.”

Wynnchurch has been successfully investing in middle market companies for over twenty years. Wynnchurch has closed five private equity funds since its founding in 1999 and has more than $4.2 billion of committed capital under management. Fund V investors include: state pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, insurance companies, corporate pension plans, investment advisors and family offices from around the globe.
