26North Partners LP

26North Partners LP, commonly known as 26North, is a United States-based next-generation alternatives investment platform founded by investor Josh Harris. The firm describes itself as "partnership first, alpha oriented, mission driven," and positions its investment platform as one "designed without barriers," prioritizing collaboration and creative problem-solving to pursue distinctive opportunities. Rather than operating as a single-strategy manager, 26North has built an integrated, multi-asset-class ecosystem that spans credit, insurance solutions, private equity and investment-grade alpha. The platform's core business lines include Credit, which provides flexible capital solutions to borrowers across the credit spectrum; Direct Lending; Investment Grade Alpha, which targets enhanced risk-adjusted returns across the investment-grade fixed-income credit spectrum by originating bespoke opportunities; Insurance Solutions, which partners with the insurance industry to deliver capital and asset-management solutions; and Private Equity, which invests in businesses with untapped potential, seeking to unlock growth and enhance value through operational excellence. According to the firm's own disclosures, 26North had approximately $37 billion in assets under management, more than 80 investment professionals and over 170 employees. The firm emphasizes several structural differentiators: an integrated platform with cross-asset-class investment committees that facilitate knowledge-sharing through a "no-walls" approach; meaningful partnerships with leading like-minded institutions; economically aligned leadership, expressed in the idea that the firm wins when its investors win; deep company, sector and market intelligence; capital markets expertise to source opportunities and execute flexible capital solutions through debt-market activity; and distinctive sourcing channels. 26North has been active in fundraising and dealmaking. In April 2026 the firm announced it had raised $5.9 billion for its inaugural private equity fund, surpassing a $4 billion target, with press coverage describing the debut buyout fund as raising $6 billion. In March 2026, 26North announced an agreement to acquire Intermedia, described as a leading cloud communications firm. The firm maintains a public presence through its website, news and views section, and leadership communications, including founder Josh Harris appearing in conversation with Bloomberg's Jason Kelly and Alex Rodriguez on "The Deal." As a limited partnership, 26North is privately held and not listed on a public exchange. Its leadership is organized around a founder-led model, with a leadership directory and team of investors and entrepreneurs. The firm serves institutional partners and investors through its platform and partner portal.

26North Partners LP was founded by Josh Harris as a next-generation alternatives platform.

The firm has also highlighted economically aligned leadership, meaningful partnerships with like-minded institutions, deep company, sector and market intelligence, capital markets expertise, and distinctive sourcing channels as core differentiators. By its own disclosures, the platform grew to approximately $37 billion in assets under management, with more than 80 investment professionals and over 170 employees.
