First in secondaries
With over three decades of experience, we are recognised as a pioneer in secondary private equity, with a record of mould-breaking deals that have delivered consistently strong returns. Over the years, we broadened our approach from crafting liquidity solutions for institutions with large private equity portfolios, to helping GPs share well-developed investment opportunities with new investors.

Customised solutions
We understand each secondary seller has a unique situation. We provide tailored and innovative solutions to meet an LP seller’s specific needs whether it’s divesting non-core assets, recalibrating holdings to a new investment strategy, optimising returns or managing risk.
As a large investor we have the ability to underwrite transactions of different sizes and transact quickly to generate flexibility on price and terms.

A global team
Our investment team is the largest dedicated to secondaries with 73 individuals representing 24 different countries. We have 19 investment partners with an average of 24 years’ experience.
Having a large team matters as it allows us to originate a broad and unique set of investment opportunities, globally. And it allows us to be hyper-selective with our investments, committing to just 1-3% on average of what we screen every year.
A large team also gives us the ability to specialise and build dedicated expertise which is crucial as the secondaries landscape evolves and becomes more complex.
