Analysis
Veritas Capital, a prominent private equity firm focused on the intersection of technology and government, has announced the final close of Fund IX with $14.4 billion in total capital commitments. The fund was oversubscribed and closed above its initial $13 billion target, setting a new high for the firm’s flagship vehicles.
This close represents a 35% increase over Veritas’s previous flagship, Fund VIII, which raised $10.7 billion in 2022. With this milestone, Veritas now manages over $54 billion in assets across its investment strategies, reinforcing its position as one of the most successful capital allocators in highly regulated and strategically critical sectors.
CEO Ramzi Musallam noted the achievement comes during a historically difficult fundraising cycle, reflecting investor confidence in Veritas’s track record and sector thesis. “As technology increasingly defines the future of national security, advances healthcare delivery, and drives the broader economy, this Fund empowers us to expand our impact and fuel innovation where it matters most,” he said.
Fund IX will continue Veritas’s strategy of investing in mission-critical technology businesses in sectors such as defense, healthcare, education, and energy. The firm targets companies undergoing structural transformation driven by software, data, and AI innovation, with a focus on both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
Veritas’s performance has earned broad recognition, including a consistent Top 10 global ranking by HEC Paris–Dow Jones for three consecutive years and being named America’s top-performing buyout firm by Preqin in 2023.

With Fund IX, Veritas is positioned to play an even greater role in shaping the digital transformation of government systems, public services, and strategic industries in the United States and abroad.
