Oak Hill Capital Partners traces its roots to Robert M. Bass, one of the four brothers who founded Bass Brothers Enterprises in Fort Worth, Texas. In the 1980s, Robert M. Bass formed an independent firm to invest his private equity capital. From 1986 to 1998, the firm directed more than 26 transactions, representing investments of more than $1.2 billion of equity capital. In 1999, with Mr. Bass as the lead investor, the firm launched Oak Hill Capital Partners, L.P., which became the successor vehicle for all of the firm's private equity activity. This fund was formed with $1.6 billion in capital commitments and invested in 18 portfolio companies. In 2005, Oak Hill closed Oak Hill Capital Partners II, L.P. with $2.5 billion in capital commitments.
