A stated mandate is a firm’s description of itself and was true of the page on the day it was read; firms widen and narrow what they will look at without updating the site. Black Diamond Capital Management states that it takes minority stakes rather than control. Nothing here is a commitment by Black Diamond Capital Management to consider any particular business, and nothing on this page is represented as being for sale.
SEC filings
What Black Diamond Capital Management has raised
From this firm's own Form D filings. A fund files one within fifteen days of its first sale, under penalty of perjury, which makes these the hardest numbers on the page.
| Vehicles filed | 1 |
| Total capital raised | $2m |
| Largest single vehicle | $2m |
| Filing history | 2009 |
| Smallest accepted commitment | $500k |
| Filed from | NEW JERSEY |
Form D covers US-domiciled vehicles raised from accredited investors. It will not capture a fund raised outside the United States, separately managed accounts, or capital deployed off balance sheet, so treat these as a floor rather than a total.
