Eaton Partners, one of the largest placement agents and fund advisory firms and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF), is pleased to have acted as the Asia-Pacific placement agent for leading growth equity firm FTV Capital (“FTV” or the “Firm”) for its latest flagship fund, FTV VIII, L.P. (“FTV VIII”), which the Firm raised alongside FTV Ascend I, L.P. (“FTV Ascend”). FTV VIII and FTV Ascend held final closes of $3.4 billion USD and $651 million USD respectively, bringing FTV’s total capital raised since inception to over $10.2 billion USD, across growth equity investments in North America, Europe, and globally.

“Eaton Partners has been privileged to partner with a manager of FTV’s caliber on its fundraising efforts in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Jonathan Lee, Managing Director and Head of APAC at Eaton Partners. “FTV possesses several key attributes that align well with the preferences of Asia-Pacific investors, including its targeted sector focus, capacity to make control or influential minority investments in growth-stage companies, and its strong institutional framework. Hence, we were able to effectively assist FTV in significantly broadening its investor network in Asia-Pacific amongst sovereign wealth funds, pension programs, life insurance companies, asset managers, financial institutions, and prominent family offices.”

“Our successful assignment with FTV highlights Eaton Partners’ ability to add depth and velocity to our clients’ fundraising activities in Asia-Pacific,” said Eric Deyle, Global Co-Head at Eaton Partners. “Eaton Partners is grateful to FTV for the opportunity to showcase these high-quality funds to the Asia-Pacific investor community.”
