Houston-based Quantum Energy Capital LLC has closed its $2.5 billion Quantum Energy Partners V private equity fund, the firm said. “This fund represented a 90% increase from our last fund raised in 2006,” said Quantum CEO Wil VanLoh. “The strong response from the investor community during a very difficult fundraising environment is a testament to our track record, investment team and reputation for partnering with the energy industry’s top management teams.” Quantum targets investment opportunities between $100 million and $400 million primarily in the oil and gas upstream, midstream and power sectors but considers opportunities across the entire energy industry. Founded in 1998, Quantum has more than $5.7 billion of assets under management.
