WASHINGTON, D.C., January 25, 2024—Arlington Capital Partners (“Arlington”), a Washington, D.C.-area private investment firm specializing in government regulated industries, today announced the successful close of its latest fund, Arlington Capital Partners VI (“Fund VI” or the “Fund”).

With the closing of Fund VI, Arlington remains committed to its founding thesis of investing in and growing leading companies in the aerospace and defense, government services and technology, and healthcare sectors that are at the forefront of industrial advancement – from developing next generation national security technologies to creating supply chain resiliency and supporting medical advancements.

Arlington’s Managing Partners, Matt Altman, Michael Lustbader, Peter Manos, and David Wodlinger, issued the following statement: “The success of this fundraise is a testament to our team’s unrivaled domain expertise, collaborative approach, and consistent track record across our target sectors, which are poised for substantial growth over the next decade-plus. We are tremendously grateful to our investors, and we look forward to putting this capital to work as a partner of choice for founders and management teams, helping to build their businesses into market leaders and sought-after strategic assets.”
