STRIVING TO PROVIDE THE BENEFITS OF

Secondary Investing


For our limited partners, we strive to provide the benefits of secondary investing, which may include (i) reducing blind pool risk; (ii) mitigating the “J-Curve” with shorter duration profiles; and (iii) diversifying exposure across industries, investment strategies, fund sponsors, geographies and vintage years. This is achieved by utilizing our deep network of global relationships and focusing on a detailed, bottom-up analysis of the underlying assets. We believe our market position and proprietary investment database reinforce our reputation as a nimble and knowledgeable investor.

“
“We provide liquidity to investors who have invested in private investments and need for some reason to sell those investments and make their cash work for them someplace else. We really do two things. On the transaction level, we help these investors monetize, and on a broader scope, we provide liquidity to an illiquid market.”
