Trivest was an early entrant to the leveraged buyout space in the early 1980s and has completed investments in over 300 companies representing over $6 billion in value since its founding. Since its inception in 1981, Trivest has raised six institutional private equity funds, with total investor commitments of nearly $2.0 billion, dedicated to leveraged buyout investments in founder and family-owned middle market companies. Trivest is currently actively investing from Trivest Fund VI, raised in August 2018 with commitments of $630 million. In addition, in 2017 Trivest launched the Trivest Growth Investment Fund ("TGIF"), a $225 million fund committed to making non-control and growth investments in founder and family-owned businesses.

Additionally, two new funds were raised at the end of 2019, closing in early 2020: Trivest Growth Investment Fund II ("TGIF II"), a $435 million non-control fund; and Trivest Discovery Fund, a $235 million control fund, currently investing in smaller businesses within fragmented industries.
