In other recent leadership moves, the firm named Amy Wesley as the Global Head of Investor Relations in late April, bringing extensive experience from her tenure at The Carlyle Group. Wesley is responsible for capital formation, product development, and investor communication.
Earlier that month, the Dallas Business Journal reported the firm grew its assets under management by some 43% in what Searcy called a ‘really difficult fundraising environment.’
The firm, has been actively involved in numerous deals and investments across various sectors this year, including investments in JF Fitness and Formula Wellness. The firm partnered with RPM Freight Systems, a technology-driven logistics provider. In addition, an affiliate of Trive Capital acquired Ten Entertainment Group, a premier bowling and family entertainment center operator in the U.K.
Today, the PE firm says it has more than $7 billion of regulatory assets under management. Trive focuses on investing equity and debt in what it sees as strategically viable middle-market companies with the potential for transformational upside through operational improvement.
