Targeted Investors

Private equity and venture capital are, by their nature, illiquid strategies. Many hedge strategies are also completely and temporarily illiquid from time to time, either because of suspended redemptions or lock-up periods, or partly illiquid due to side-pocketed investments. By acting as an intermediary on their behalf, we can assist institutional investors in managing private equity exposures and exposure to illiquid periods of investment in hedge strategies.

When working on a secondary assignment, we seek to maximize value by leveraging multiple buyers for a given asset and targeting a buyer’s demand for specific funds or co-investments within a seller’s portfolio.

While a small number of groups have been interested in purchasing secondary assets for many years, there are an increasing number of institutional investors participating on the buy-side of the secondary markets. Our extensive relationships and database of institutional investors gives us the ability to market secondary interests beyond the traditional buyers.
