The other day, I created a list of angels.
I just saw that peHUB put up a list of secondary shops. Since they gate their posts after a few days, I’m shamelessly reposting the list here for posterity.
Landmark Partners, CT
Lexington Partners, NY
Goldman Sachs
Coller Capital, UK
Pantheon Ventures
HarbourVest Partners, Boston
RCP Advisors, Chicago
Greenpark Capital, UK
Key Capital Corp
Paul Capital
I’ll continue the list here and also in the comments.
Today we present one more form of secondary investing—the direct secondary. Naturally, that includes the kind of sponsor-to-sponsor deals that some LPs frown upon, but there are several firms who’s entire strategy involves taking direct minority investments off PE investors hands. They call this practice “direct secondary” investing.
I spoke with David Wachter, a managing director and founding partner of W Capital, one such firm based in New York. The firm is currently investing from its second fund, a $700 million pool of capital which closed $200 million above target in March 2008. Other players in the market include Vision Capital in the UK and Goldman Sachs’ secondaries fund.
