Focus is key when considering software exposure across both LP-leds and GP-leds, as valuations and exits for the sector remain uncertain, panellists said at the UK Private Capital Summit 2026.

While an increasing number of LPs are embracing CVs, they remain wary of overreliance on the structures, said panellists at IPEM Global in Paris.

The fund aims to capitalise on surging investor interest in infra CVs and strong tailwinds in the aquaculture market to support the global expansion of wellboat company Sølvtrans.

The CV for a Netherlands-based industrials asset will see around €1bn-€1.2bn of new equity with a ‘significant amount’ of rollover, PEI Secondaries Investor understands.

As buyers position themselves in the market, they need to ensure they have all the ‘whistles and bells’ to cater to sellers and investors, CVC Secondary Partners’ head, Carlo Pirzio-Biroli, tells PEI Secondaries Investor.

Bridgepoint’s and PennantPark’s continuation vehicles will acquire a total of roughly $2bn of private credit investments.

Two longtime corporate venture capital investors have joined the firm with a €120m portfolio of climate tech businesses.

The raise of Secondary Opportunities Fund VI proves the rationale behind CVC and legacy Glendower Capital’s tie-up ‘was right’, CVC Secondary Partners’ head tells PEI Secondaries Investor.

The institution is looking to boost its infrastructure exposure and eyeing further opportunities in private equity and real estate secondaries, says founder and CEO Antoine Prudent.

The new head will spearhead liquidity solutions for the firm’s funds and oversee a range of semi-liquid fund strategies for the Denmark-headquartered infrastructure manager.
