## History and people
The fund's original Form D was filed with the SEC on October 29, 2024, reporting zero sales at that date and a placement agent agreement taking effect November 1, 2024; the first sale date was October 30, 2024.[4](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2041121/000204112124000001/0002041121-24-000001.txt) • [1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2041121/000204112126000001/0002041121-26-000001.txt) EDGAR shows three filings under file number 021-528063: the original Form D, an amendment on October 24, 2025, and a second amendment on March 4, 2026.[5](https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&filenum=021-528063)
The initial filing listed Fergus Healy, Gustavo Cardenas, Fawaz Al-Mubaraki, Jordan Siskin, Lauren Rich, and Adel Alderbas as executive officers, signed by Healy as authorized signatory on October 28, 2024.[4](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2041121/000204112124000001/0002041121-24-000001.txt) The March 2026 amendment lists Healy, Cardenas, Siskin, Rich, and Alderbas, all at the 345 Park Avenue address, and was signed by authorized signatory Jonathan Zanger on March 4, 2026.[1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2041121/000204112126000001/0002041121-26-000001.txt) According to Wafra's July 2026 announcement, Alderbas is Chief Investment Officer at Wafra and President of Capital Constellation, and the firm's Strategic Partnerships platform is co-led by Gustavo Cardenas, Lauren Rich, and Jordan Siskin.[3](https://thailandbusinessnews.net/press-release/wafra-holds-final-close-of-constellation-generation-v-at-2-billion/)
## Strategy
Capital Constellation makes minority investments and catalytic commitments in specialized alternative asset managers, typically next-generation firms.[3](https://thailandbusinessnews.net/press-release/wafra-holds-final-close-of-constellation-generation-v-at-2-billion/) • [2](https://privateequitycareer.com/wafra-launches-fifth-constellation-fund-earmarked-for-emerging-managers/) Trade reporting describes the structure as minority GP-stake investments alongside catalytic commitments, giving Wafra exposure to management fee streams and incentive allocations without consolidating balance-sheet risk on the underlying fund portfolios.[6](https://iteocapital.com/articles/wafra-holds-final-close-of/)
The offering is exempt under Rule 506(c) and Investment Company Act Sections 3(c)(1) and 3(c)(7). The general partner is entitled to carried interest and the investment adviser to a management fee, the standard private fund economics.[1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2041121/000204112126000001/0002041121-26-000001.txt)
## Funds by the numbers
The March 4, 2026 Form D amendment reports a total amount sold of $1,728,500,000, aggregated with the parallel vehicles [Constellation Generation V Fund-A](https://www.edgepedia.org/constellation-generation-v-fund-a), Fund-B, and Fund-C, with 22 investors also aggregated across the parallel funds.[1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2041121/000204112126000001/0002041121-26-000001.txt) The filing reports $1,780,190 in sales commissions and an indefinite remaining amount, indicating the offering was still open at that date; the placement agent is Rede Partners LLP of London, with Finex Hong Kong Limited listed as a related person.[1](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2041121/000204112126000001/0002041121-26-000001.txt)
Four months later, on July 14, 2026, Wafra announced the final close of Constellation Generation V at $2.0 billion, surpassing its $1.5 billion fundraising target by a third.[3](https://thailandbusinessnews.net/press-release/wafra-holds-final-close-of-constellation-generation-v-at-2-billion/) • [6](https://iteocapital.com/articles/wafra-holds-final-close-of/) [Kirkland & Ellis](https://www.edgepedia.org/kirkland-and-ellis), which advised Wafra on the close, described CG V as the largest investment vehicle raised for Capital Constellation since Wafra began pursuing the strategy in 2012.[7](https://www.kirkland.com/news/press-release/2026/07/kirkland-advises-wafra-on-final-close-of-constellation-generation-v) Across the platform, Wafra has committed over $8 billion across 32 managers since 2012.[3](https://thailandbusinessnews.net/press-release/wafra-holds-final-close-of-constellation-generation-v-at-2-billion/)
The naming places the vehicle as the fifth Constellation fund of funds, following four earlier generations; no retrieved source covers the sizes or vintages of Generations I through IV individually, so the cadence of the earlier raises cannot be quantified from the available record.[2](https://privateequitycareer.com/wafra-launches-fifth-constellation-fund-earmarked-for-emerging-managers/)
## Portfolio and deployment
Wafra stated in July 2026 that CG V had already begun deploying capital through strategic partnerships with Niobrara Capital and Gallatin Point Capital. Entry prices and deal terms were not disclosed.[3](https://thailandbusinessnews.net/press-release/wafra-holds-final-close-of-constellation-generation-v-at-2-billion/) The final close attracted strong support from existing investors and brought in new institutional partners from Asia, Australia, and Latin America, according to the Kirkland & Ellis announcement.[7](https://www.kirkland.com/news/press-release/2026/07/kirkland-advises-wafra-on-final-close-of-constellation-generation-v)
## Recent developments
The entire public record of this vehicle post-dates late 2023. The sequence runs from the launch filing in October 2024, through amendments in October 2025 and March 2026 showing the raise in progress, to the $2.0 billion final close announced in July 2026, the largest Capital Constellation vehicle to date.[5](https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&filenum=021-528063) • [7](https://www.kirkland.com/news/press-release/2026/07/kirkland-advises-wafra-on-final-close-of-constellation-generation-v) As of September 2026 the program is closed and deploying.[3](https://thailandbusinessnews.net/press-release/wafra-holds-final-close-of-constellation-generation-v-at-2-billion/)
