MIAMI – Trivest Partners (“Trivest” or “the Firm”), a leading private equity firm focused exclusively on founder and family-owned businesses, today announces that Bonaccord Capital Partners (“Bonaccord”) has acquired a passive minority equity interest in the firm. Bonaccord, a subsidiary of P10, Inc., is a private equity platform dedicated to acquiring non-control equity interests in leading mid-sized private market sponsors.
The transaction will provide capital to allow Trivest to continue to invest in its employees and growth initiatives while having no impact on the day-to-day management of the firm. As the equity interest is non-voting, the firm’s investment and decision-making processes will remain unchanged. Additional terms of the investment were not disclosed.

With approximately $2.5 billion in assets under management across three strategies, the Firm has become a premier platform focused exclusively on the support and growth of founder and family-owned businesses throughout the United States and Canada within the middle market.
“This transaction allows us to build a capital base to continue to invest in our employees and be significant investors across our platform. We find Bonaccord’s strategic approach and similar culture to represent the ideal profile as a long-term partner in supporting our firm. This investment is also a great opportunity for us to expand our long-standing relationship with P10 and its affiliates.
