Fundraising

W-Prime VI's target is more than double the amount the direct secondaries specialist raised for its predecessor vehicle.

The office is the firm's 10th globally and will initially focus on investor relations functions.

Opportuna has raised capital from Infinitas Capital and high-net-worth individuals and will focus on tech and climate tech companies.

The vehicle, which will commit to infrastructure secondaries as well as direct infra deals, will target investors globally, Secondaries Investor understands.

LGT Capital Partners' latest vehicle launched in 2022 and had collected $4.38bn as of January.

According to mid-year advisory reports, the secondaries market is looking at a potentially record-breaking finish to 2024.

Lexington Capital Partners X, the firm's latest main secondaries fund, smashed its $15bn target to collect $22.7bn last year.

The listed alternatives firm is ‘progressing’ on the launch of both a private equity and a secondaries semi-liquid fund next year.

Macquarie Alliance Partners Infrastructure Fund is understood to have a $1bn hard-cap, per affiliate title Infrastructure Investor.

Secondaries fundraisers find success through specialisation.
