Secondaries

We are an active provider of liquidity solutions to other private equity investors. Leveraging our broad global network and deep market coverage, we identify opportunities in existing private fund and company interests that can offer an attractive balance between potential liquidity and returns.

our focus

Secondary investments involve acquiring existing private equity interests from other investors, providing them with liquidity while offering new investors immediate exposure to established portfolios.

We make discrete, timely, and competitive offers to those seeking liquidity for private equity interests, including partnership interests, continuation vehicles or direct stakes in private companies. We have deployed over A$1 billion in secondary transactions globally sourced through our extensive network of intermediaries, General Partners and Limited Partners relationships.

Incorporating a secondaries strategy in a portfolio is a way to gain diversification and can provide exposure to older fund vintages and companies as they continue to mature. This may help reduce the impact of the traditional “J-curve”.

MARKET OUTLOOK

Secondaries Gaining Ground Fast

Secondaries are no longer a niche corner of private equity—they’re becoming a major force reshaping the market. With growth outpacing the broader private capital landscape, secondaries are providing essential liquidity solutions for both LPs and GPs in a slower exit and fundraising environment.
