The fund had a soft close in April 2019. TA XIII was oversubscribed and exceeded its original US $7.5 billion target.

As with its predecessor equity funds, TA XIII will focus on equity investments in middle-market growth companies, primarily in opportunities originated and led exclusively by TA. TA’s investments will range from US $75-$500 million in equity. The firm will seek to invest in growth companies with high quality, profitable business models around the world within the technology, healthcare, financial services, consumer and business services industries.
