Private equity

The firm has hired a Goldman Sachs Asset Management investment professional as it bulks up its secondaries team.

The private equity giant’s push into impact investing relies on the GP relationships and fund commitments its Strategic Partners unit has built.

In part 2 of sister title Private Equity International’s secondaries roundtable, participants discuss fundless sponsor restructurings, single asset deals and how to find the upside of a market downturn.

The firm has raised $450m for Commonfund Capital Secondary Partners II in a final close.

The appointment is the firm’s second this year and brings its total staff to seven.

The market is evolving rapidly, becoming deeper, more granular and more complex. Six roundtable participants tell us what form it is taking.

CPPIB, ICG and Kirkland & Ellis are among the firm’s represented on PEI’s list of the 40 future leaders of private equity.

More mega-deals, the pros of a market downturn and how participants are dealing with limited resources – just some of the topics discussed at sister publication Private Equity International’s recent roundtable.

The departure of MJ Hudson’s former private funds head Ted Craig was revealed last week by Secondaries Investor.
