Domain Capital Group has closed $768 million in equity commitments for its second entertainment fund.

The private investment management firm based in Atlanta announced that the Domain Entertainment Fund II focuses on investments in cinemas, television participation, and music catalogs, with additional allocations for literary works, theatrical productions, and sports.

Domain stated that it has, to date, “generated total equity commitments of $2.3 billion in entertainment assets.”

The company added that Fund II includes investments with notable partners such as Paramount Pictures and Sony Music Publishing, featuring titles and artists like Sonique 3, Friends, The Matrix trilogy, Miranda Lambert, and Thomas Rhett.

The mention of Lambert underscores the deepening partnership between Domain and Sony Music Publishing Nashville.

Earlier this year, SMP Nashville and Domain partnered to acquire the entire song catalog of Miranda Lambert, along with a deal covering future works.

Lambert’s catalog includes chart-toppers like White Liar, Bluebird, and Over You, with songs written for artists including Morgan Wallen, Ella Langley, Luke Combs, and Lainey Wilson.

Domain’s music portfolio also includes Sea Gayle Music, acquired in 2020, which houses catalogs from various artists like Chris Stapleton and Bobby Pinson.

In October 2025, SMP Nashville announced a global administration partnership with Sea Gayle and Domain.

The initial collaboration between Domain and SMP took place in May 2022, acquiring the entire career catalog of songwriter Ashley Gorley for around $40 million. Gorley has penned 59 No. 1 singles in the US charts.

Domain also acquired the principal recording and publishing catalog of Iggy Azalea in 2022 as part of an eight-figure deal.

Fund II closed above its predecessor, Domain’s first entertainment fund, which closed in November 2022 with over $700 million in commitments.

The company previously deployed a separate $830 million account in 2012, primarily focused on film and television assets.

“With this fund, we aim to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality assets that generate cash returns and preserve our investors’ capital in different market conditions,” said Pete Chiappetta, Domain’s general manager.

Commenting on the latest fund, Chiappetta highlighted the industry’s growth driven by evolving distribution platforms and global content demand.

Domain manages entertainment investments for various institutional investors, including corporate and public pension funds, insurance companies, university endowments, multifamily offices, and wealth management firms.

The company emphasizes an investment strategy focused on cash returns with low correlation to broader market trends.

Based in Atlanta, Domain Capital Group claims to manage around $8.3 billion in total assets and invests across private markets in real estate, media, entertainment, technology, forestry lands, natural capital, and special situations.
