Fundraising

The firm is targeting €200m to invest in continuation vehicles.

Glouston Private Equity Opportunities VII closed on $558m, making it the firm’s largest vehicle to date.

After more than two years in the market, the group is already eyeing a launch for its next secondaries programme.

While fundraising figures are down from record-breaking numbers in 2024, it would be remiss not to consider the impact of evergreen capital on the market.

Fundraising for secondaries strategies last year reached just under $100bn, falling short of 2023’s record haul for the sub-sector.

Mid-Market Secondaries III, the successor to co-investment and secondaries-focused vehicle Select Opportunities Fund II, reached its target.

The secondaries market anticipated a record year for activity in 2024. Don’t expect a slowdown over the coming 12 months.

The largest secondaries vehicle to close in 2024 was more than double the size of the runner-up.

eQ PE SF V, which surpassed its target, is the smallest in the manager’s secondaries series.

Global Infrastructure Solutions is targeting $2.5bn and for the first time has a dedicated secondaries sleeve.
