PRIVATE EQUITY SECONDARY
A Principal Focus on Secondary Investments
Landmark acquires limited partnership interests and direct investments in venture capital, buyout, and mezzanine assets. Landmark has acquired private equity interests from domestic and international sellers in funds worldwide.
While once a curiosity among institutional investors, secondary market investments have grown in proportion to the private equity market as a whole as the need for liquidity among owners of private equity assets has evolved.
Specifically, secondary funds offer the following potential benefits, many of which are not available in traditional private equity investments:
As is the case with other private equity funds, the experience and reputation of the fund sponsor is paramount. Since Landmark began making a market in private equity investments in the late 1980s, the industry has grown to a point where billions in secondary interests trade annually. As a result, it is critical to consider those fund sponsors who can demonstrate that they have the reputation and experience to succeed in this market.
Points to Consider
-- Landmark employs a proprietary due diligence process in making its investment decisions and has been successfully employing this process for over a decade.
-- Landmark has the capital, experience, and legal resources to close complex secondary interest transactions in a timely manner.
-- Landmark has acquired a variety of non-U.S. interests, including companies or limited partnership interests in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Pacific Rim. Landmark has the contacts and expertise to acquire attractive interests on a global basis.
-- Landmark’s long associations with institutional investors and private equity fund sponsors enable it to acquire many transactions through private negotiation, avoiding highly competitive public auctions.
