LAKE FOREST, Ill., May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RoundTable Healthcare Partners ("RoundTable"), an operating-oriented private equity firm focused exclusively on the healthcare industry, announced today the closing of its sixth private equity fund totaling $800 million in capital commitments ("Fund VI").

RoundTable's long-standing strategy has been to utilize the firm's extensive healthcare operating and transaction expertise to improve the growth and profitability of its portfolio companies to enhance their value and generate attractive investment returns. The firm focuses its investments on family companies, owner/founders, management teams and corporate partners who have confidence in RoundTable's ability to add value beyond capital.

To advance this strategy, Fund VI will be led by a Management Committee consisting of Thomas P. Kapfer, R. Craig Collister, Andrew B. Hochman, and Timothy J. Connors. Mr. Kapfer was Chairman of the Management Committee for Fund V and will retain his position for Fund VI. He, along with Mr. Collister, served on the Management Committees of Funds IV and V.

In addition to serving on the Management Committee, he will focus on identifying new investment opportunities and overseeing the operational performance of Fund VI platform investments in the pharmaceutical and consumer healthcare markets.

Messrs. Kapfer and Connors will lead RoundTable's operating resources to support both existing investments and those made by Fund VI. Messrs. Collister and Hochman will lead the firm's transaction activities.
