In an exclusive interview with SecondaryLink, Co-Founder Julien Marencic explains why the Copenhagen firm is doubling down on small-ticket deals with its new closed-end vehicle.
The Geneva-based firm targets late-stage single-asset secondary investments across technology and digital ventures.
The private equity veteran developed the firm's secondaries strategy, leading three transactions across tail-end portfolios, early secondary deals, and a CV.
The second vintage of the secondary strategy has reached half of its €500 million target, and the programme has completed five investments across GP- and LP-led transactions.
The firm has appointed Loïc Beaumont as Head of Private Equity to lead the initiative that targets LP-led secondary positions in European buyout funds.
The closed-end fund will invest across PE buyout and growth alongside opportunistic GP-and LP-led secondaries, with commitments starting at €5,000.
The Swiss firm's flagship semi-liquid strategy tracks the Morningstar PitchBook Unicorn 20 Index primarily through secondaries.
Engler brings over two decades of technology experience and will lead operations and build the infrastructure behind each deal.
The "secondaries of secondaries" strategy targets existing investors' interests in private equity secondary funds.
Qualitas Secondary Opportunities I will invest in LP stakes, GP-led transactions, and late primaries across the European lower mid-market, including the UK.
