We are a specialist investor in the secondary private capital market, providing private equity and credit secondaries funds to institutional investors worldwide.

We offer liquidity solutions to private market investors, often solving complex liquidity issues for them.
What are private capital secondaries?
The private capital secondaries market is the only way for private market investors to exit early from their investments. It also allows fund managers to provide additional liquidity options to their investors.
Secondaries can be an attractive option for individual investors who are looking to diversify their portfolios and potentially generate attractive risk-adjusted returns through private equity.
Secondaries funds typically contain a range of different underlying funds and strategies bringing greater diversification than you would get by investing in a primary private equity fund.
