Secondaries

We have been an active provider of liquidity solutions to other private equity investors for more than 15 years. With a wide network and primary market coverage, we know the Asia-Pacific market intimately. 

Our focus

We make discrete, timely and competitive offers to those seeking liquidity for private equity interests, be they partnership interests, special purpose vehicles, or direct stakes in private companies. We have deployed more than AU$900 million in secondary transactions throughout the region and many of those deals stemmed from our large and growing funds network. We believe having a local presence with significant experience in the Asia-Pacific region is critical to understanding the nuances of each transaction. Including a secondaries strategy is a way to gain immediate, diversified exposure that can reduce the impact of private equity “J-curve”.
