HarbourVest focuses on finding high quality investments in partnership funds, in secondary purchases, and directly in operating companies.
Proven Investment Strategy
HarbourVest's investment strategy has been developed by our professionals over multiple investment, capital market, credit, and macroeconomic cycles of the past three decades. Several strategic elements have been consistently developed over consecutive investment programs, including:
- Leverage the HarbourVest platform of an integrated approach to private
equity through primary, secondary and direct investments - Build diversified portfolios across geography, size, stage, and time
- Apply a disciplined and active approach to investing
- Utilize flexible asset allocation
- Seek superior investments and maintain selectivity
Our integrated approach to primary, secondary, and direct investing enhances each component of the strategy. By focusing across these three areas, HarbourVest is able to develop valuable insight into the portfolios and capabilities of fund managers, leverage a strong, deep network of relationships, and enhance the flow of potential deals.
