NC-based Falfurrias Management Partners Secures $400M for Inaugural Fund. FGP is the firm’s first dedicated growth buyout fund. In addition to FGP, FMP manages its larger $850 million fund, Falfurrias Capital Partners V, and has raised over $2.2 billion of capital since inception.
FGP was oversubscribed and closed at its hard cap due to strong support from both new and existing investors comprising leading global pension plans, asset managers, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, family offices, and high net worth individuals.

Ed McMahan, Managing Partner of FMP said, “We are delighted to have recruited world class investors and operators to join our team to help launch and lead FGP. The fund will allow us to pursue attractive investment opportunities that are identified through our Industry First process but where we previously did not have the investment expertise or fund strategy to pursue,”.
Mr. Dyer added “Our team is excited to have joined FMP, which has a strong track record of generating attractive returns for its investors through its Industry First approach supported by deep operating resources resident in the firm. We believe these extensive resources will allow FGP to continue FMP’s track record of successfully growing lower middle market companies in our target sectors.”
