United States private markets asset manager HarbourVest Partners ($161 billion AUM) has raised $4.75 billion for 7th direct co-investment fund program (HarbourVest Partners Co-Investment Fund VII Program) to invest in direct co-investments in buyout & growth equity strategies alongside leading private markets sponsors, with $500 million raised allocated to invest in growth equity & expansion stage opportunities in AI, healthcare innovation, high-growth industries & disruptive technologies. Announcement (10/7/26): “HarbourVest Partners (“HarbourVest”), a global private markets asset manager, today announced the final close of the HarbourVest Partners Co-Investment Fund VII Program (“HCF VII”) with approximately $4.75 billion in total commitments. HCF VII exceeded its $4 billion target, reflecting strong demand from a global group of new and existing limited partners. HCF VII seeks to provide investors with access to a diversified global portfolio of direct co-investments across buyout and growth equity strategies alongside some of the industry’s leading private markets sponsors. In addition to HarbourVest’s core buyout strategy, the program includes a dedicated fund that raised more than $500 million to invest in growth equity and expansion stage opportunities that capitalize on transformative trends in AI, healthcare innovation, and other high-growth industries and disruptive technologies. Over the past two years, HarbourVest has also raised more than $10 billion in co-investment capital alongside HCF VII. We believe that HCF VII, in parallel with other commingled closed-end funds, separately managed accounts, and evergreen capital under management, allows the platform to operate at scale and solidifies HarbourVest as a partner of choice for private equity managers globally. HCF VII builds on HarbourVest’s more than 40-year history of direct co-investing and one of the industry’s largest global co-investment platforms, which is supported by a dedicated global team of more than 60 investment professionals and relationships with more than 650 active private markets managers worldwide. Since inception, HarbourVest has committed approximately $47 billion across more than 1,350 direct equity co-investments, including more than $40 billion invested across more than 820 transactions during the past decade.”
