Secondary Sellers

Sellers of private equity turn to us to help execute a sale quickly and smoothly. HarbourVest is well known to leading general partners, which makes us a highly desirable secondary buyer of investments at all stages and in all regions.

Focused on Solutions

Our innovative deal structures ensure that we can find a solution that works well for sellers of small positions or large portfolios. HarbourVest’s secondary purchases can be a flexible, creative source of liquidity.

Able to Purchase a Wide Variety of Assets

Over time, HarbourVest’s secondary investments have evolved to reflect the changing nature of the secondary market. Specifically, secondary transactions have increased in size, complexity, and array of assets available for purchase. These changes have contributed to the need for proprietary and complex transaction types, which require robust skill sets and greater sophistication on the part of secondary investors.

Advantages of Working with HarbourVest

There are many firms competing in today’s secondary market—dedicated secondary specialists, fund-of-funds, financial institutions, and other institutional investors. However, few firms can match our team’s experience and depth of industry knowledge. HarbourVest can act quickly, discreetly, and provide creative deal structures to meet a seller’s needs.
