GI Partners

GI Partners is a private alternatives investment firm operating across three complementary strategies: private equity, real estate, and data infrastructure. The firm's private equity arm targets control-oriented investments in North American middle-market companies across healthcare, IT infrastructure, services, and software sectors, committing initial equity of up to $500 million per transaction and offering target deal sizes ranging from $25 million to $1 billion across single assets, portfolios, or platforms. Transaction types include leveraged buyouts, management buyouts, going-private transactions, growth capital investments, divestitures, secondary buyouts, special situations, and stake purchases, with majority control as the standard ownership structure, supplemented by select minority growth investments. GI Partners prioritizes capital preservation, seeking businesses with downside protection potential and the capacity for consistent value creation under stable, experienced management teams. The firm applies an advantaged sourcing approach grounded in deep industry networks and resident sector knowledge, with its real estate group focused on technology-enabled and life sciences properties and its data infrastructure group investing in hard-asset infrastructure underpinning the digital economy. GI Partners has raised more than $49 billion in capital from institutional investors globally since inception. Founded in 2001 by Rick Magnuson, the firm is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, with additional offices in New York, Dallas, Chicago, Greenwich, Scottsdale, and London.
