Harris’ 26North Raises $6 Billion for Debut Buyout Fund

Josh Harris’ 26North Partners collected almost $6 billion for its debut private equity strategy, a US record for a first-time fundraising.

The total surpassed the initial $4 billion target the firm set in 2023 and attracted commitments from investors including pension plans, sovereign wealth funds and family offices, while Harris seeded the fund with his own capital, he said in an interview.
