T. Rowe Price Growth Equity LLC, Series II

The absence of prior EDGAR filings from this manager indicates T. Rowe Price's direct PE arm either operates below the reporting threshold, files through a parent entity, or is building out a dedicated private equity franchise separate from its public asset management operations—a Series II launch suggests the latter, with institutional LP capital now backing a standalone PE fund rather than co-investing alongside mutual funds.

A May 2026 filing for a $60M raise aligns with post-election portfolio rebalancing cycles when LPs reassess alternatives allocations and large asset managers push closed-end vehicles after cash accumulation in Q1; the timing reflects standard mid-year fundraising windows rather than response to a specific exit event or distressed opportunity.

Verify whether the three named GPs carry key-man provisions tied to all three or a subset, since a fund of this size with three GPs creates ambiguity about team depth if any single person departs; also confirm this Series II targets the same ticket size and sector focus as Series I, as successor funds sometimes drift in strategy but file under the same manager without explicit disclosure.
