NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., March 18, 2025-- New State Capital Partners today announced that it has closed on $700 million for its Fund IV, which was oversubscribed, above its target, and raised in less than six months. Since inception New State has raised $1.8 billion.

Fund IV attracted a diverse investor base, including endowments and foundations, family offices, public pension plans, insurance companies, OCIOs, and high-net-worth individuals across North America and Europe. New State professionals committed $60 million via the general partner, seeking to drive alignment between the firm and its limited partners.
