The US-reported view

The sections below draw on US regulatory filings — SEC Form ADV and Form D — and on US investors' own disclosures. They set out Thoma Bravo's US-reported slice: the funds, service providers, domiciles and activity visible in US filings, not its worldwide business.

1. US-SEC private funds

This page reports $137.0bn of gross asset value across 118 private funds that Thoma Bravo reports on SEC Form ADV, filings through 2024. Its firm-wide figures are in the Assets summary at the top of this page, measured on a different basis.

Worldwide, 12 registered fund vehicles are on file under its management companies, on the worldwide entity register (read 2026-10-05) — these are legal fund entities, not the share classes or products a manager markets.

The gross asset value above is the SEC-reported private funds only, as filed — a narrower, verifiable subset of a manager's firm-wide AUM, which is stated on its own basis and can include separate accounts, committed-but-uncalled capital and vehicles outside US SEC reporting. The two are different measures and will not match.

2. Service providers

EY audits 76 of the 118 Thoma Bravo funds that name an auditor on Form ADV Schedule D, filings through 2024 — more than any other firm. SEI administers 6 of the 6 that name an administrator, on the same filings. Relationships the filings attribute to Thoma Bravo's own group are part of its structure, not third-party appointments, and are left out of these counts.

Across the funds that disclose each role on Schedule D — the count is funds naming that provider, of funds disclosing the role at all:

3. Fund domiciles

86 of Thoma Bravo's 118 SEC-reported private funds are domiciled in Delaware, its largest single domicile on Form ADV, filings through 2024. Cayman Islands is next, and the bars below give the rest in order.

4. Fund performance

Every figure here is a disclosing pension plan's own, on that plan's own reporting date. Nothing is blended into a manager-level return, because no plan published one.

Per-fund net IRR, multiple and DPI as disclosed by the pension plans invested in the funds — the LPs' own numbers, on their own dates, not the manager's. One row per plan disclosure. Where two plans hold the same fund and report different numbers, both rows show, with their dates:

1 further disclosures are on where plans' numbers diverge and private market performance.

Young vintages sit in the J-curve: an early negative IRR mostly reflects fees drawn before value is realised, and is not a verdict on the fund.

5. Known LP investors, from their own disclosures

CalSTRS (13), Washington WSIB (6), Minnesota SBI (5), NYC Fire (5), NYCERS (5), CalPERS (4), NYC BERS (4), NYC Police (4), NYC Teachers (4), Oregon OPERF (3) — the count is this manager's funds appearing in that plan's disclosure.

Source: each pension plan's own published performance disclosure, as compiled on this site (per-plan as-at dates shown in the table). Net IRR and multiple are taken exactly as each plan reported them; DPI is distributions ÷ contributions from the plan's own cash-flow columns. Coverage is limited to the pension plans this site follows — a fund without such an investor does not appear here, and that absence says nothing about the fund.

6. Management entities

Thoma Bravo files Form ADV through 1 management entity; the largest is Thoma Bravo, L.P., CRD 157041 of CHICAGO, with 118 of the 118 funds on this page. Every figure above rolls those filers up into one business. The table below traces each of them back to the entity that filed it, so a number can be checked against its own record rather than taken on trust.
