????恩頤投資（New Enterprise Associates）美東時間5月9日在一份向美國證監會（SEC）呈交的報告中透露，該公司已為它的恩頤14號基金（NEA 14）融資超過20億美元。這支基金于今年年初向市場推廣，融資上限為25億美元。一位了解情況的消息人士指出，恩頤投資計劃在兩個月內進行第二輪融資，并在七月初進行最后一輪融資，以實現25億美元的目標。本周，恩頤投資將召開有限合伙人年會，而這只恩頤14號基金很可能獲得超額認購。

????恩頤投資2006年曾為恩頤12號基金融資25億美元，2009年恩頤13號基金的規模下降至22.5億美元。但這兩支基金還是稍遜于橡樹投資（Oak Investment Partners）2006年募集的一支25.6億美元的基金，至今那仍是業界有史以來最大的一只風投基金（不過橡樹投資自己后來也未能再次復制自己的成功）。

????去年秋天，我在《財富》雜志上發表了一篇關于恩頤投資的文章，指出在恩頤投資過去的8只基金中，有6只基金都能排進業界前25%。不過其中并不包括2009年的那只，因為當時它上市時間還短，不好評價。

????恩頤投資稱按照相關監管政策不能對此事發表評論。

????The firm today revealed in an SEC filing that it already has secured more than $2 billion for NEA 14, which began being marketed earlier this year with a $2.5 billion cap. A source familiar with the situation says that plans are to hold a second close within the next two months and then a final close in early July on the $2.5 billion figure. NEA is holding its annual limited partner meeting this week, and expects that the fund will end up being oversubscribed.

????NEA previously raised $2.5 billion for its twelfth fund in 2006, before scaling back to $2.25 billion for NEA 13 in 2009. Each was just a shade small than the $2.56 billion raised in 2006 by Oak Investment Partners, which is believed to be the industry's largest-ever investment fund (albeit one it has not been able to replicate).

????In a magazine story I wrote about NEA last fall, we reported that six of NEA's past eight funds were considered top quartile -- excluding the 2009 vehicle, which was considered too new to judge.

????The firm declined to comment, citing regulatory restrictions.
