The range spans software and technology buyouts, growth equity and credit.
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.
| Registered fund vehicles worldwide (as at 2026-10-05) | 12 |
| Management entities on file (US filings · worldwide register) | 1 · 5 |
| Principal offices on file | Chicago, United States |
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:
| Fund administrator | SEI (6 of 6) |
| Auditor | EY (76 of 118); BDO (42 of 118) |
| Custodian | Merrill Lynch (111 of 118); Bank of America (81 of 118); J.P. Morgan (37 of 118) — and 3 more |
| Marketer / placement | Northern Lights Alternative Advisors, LLP (1 of 1); Transpacific Group LLC (1 of 1) |
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.
