Goldman Sachs Alternatives has held the final close of West Street Capital Partners IX (WSCP IX), gathering $11.7bn across the flagship fund and related vehicles. The figure breaks down into $9.6bn for WSCP IX itself, the ninth vintage of Goldman Sachs Alternatives’ flagship buyout platform, alongside more than $1.6bn raised to date for West Street Asia Equity Partners I (WSAEP I), its dedicated pan-Asia Pacific strategy, and $500m for related co-investment vehicles. The flagship’s total lands broadly in line with its predecessor, West Street Capital Partners VIII, which closed at $9.7bn in 2022.

The capital was raised from a diverse group of institutional and high-net-worth investors across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, with significant commitments from Goldman Sachs and its own employees.
