CapX Partners, a specialty finance company, announced the close of its latest fund with total commitments of $225 million. CapX IV closed at the end of 2012 with $75 million of private capital. With their SBIC Debenture License, CapX IV now has access to an additional $150 million in debenture leverage funding from the SBIC.

According to CapX Managing Partner Jeffry Pfeffer, "We are pleased to be able to continue to help more companies achieve their growth goals. Small and medium sized companies often have specific capital needs and therefore limited financing options-CapX's investment focus provides these companies the fixed asset oriented financing that stimulates their growth and corresponding vital job creation."

"These additional funds showcase the confidence our investors have had in our capabilities and strategies" added CapX Founding Partner James Hallene. "We look forward to putting their dollars to work, creating superior returns on their investments."
