Private equity fund commitments

For over two decades, Churchill has built a differentiated primaries platform by being a meaningful LP who supports our GPs through multiple vintages. This drives deep relationships and leads to further collaboration with our GPs on direct deal flow throughout senior lending, junior capital, equity co-investment, and secondaries.
