About Secondcap

Secondcap was founded in January 2010 in response to Limited Partners and General Partners seeking a more efficient way to transfer interests in private funds.

Secondaries market deal flow in 2010 was $60 billion however only $20 billion was transacted. This was due to wide spreads in pricing, a fragmented universe of buyers, a limited number of buyers and overly costly fees charged to transfer interests.

Secondcap developed SecondaryNet – an online platform which brings together a vast global network of buyers and sellers of private fund interests. Since launching in June 2011 it has provided best execution to a growing number of sellers. Secondcap adds value to Limited Partners by:

• introducing intuitive technology that deals with the entire transaction process with an integrated data room
• providing an excellent buyer network (currently in excess of 315) to choose the most appropriate counterparties to work with,
• allowing LPs to use anonymity in the transfer process until the end of the transaction,
• taking a much lower fee for finding the best prices from our comprehensive buyer network
• reducing the time taken to complete a secondary transaction.
