The firm, which is based in New York City, was founded in 2004. The firm has raised approximately $1.9 billion since inception.
History
[edit]In 2004, DLJMB co-head Larry Schloss, along with four senior members of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners, led a spinout from Credit Suisse to form a new private equity firm which would come to be known as Diamond Castle Holdings.[2][3]
Funds
[edit]In December 2006, the firm announced it had completed fundraising for a $1.85 billion private equity fund, known as Diamond Castle Partners IV (a reference to the three DLJMB funds previously raised).[1]
As of 2014, the firm had not sought to raise a successor fund.[4]
