LGT Capital Partners co-leads closing of IDG Capital’s USD 500 million continuation funds
Private equity firm IDG Capital closed USD 500 million multi-asset continuation vehicles (CVs), with LGT Capital Partners co-leading the transaction. This deal demonstrates LGT Capital Partners’ continued commitment to providing innovative liquidity solutions to high-quality General Partners (GPs) and Limited Partners (LPs) in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

This marks another successful collaboration between LGT Capital Partners and IDG Capital following a series of prior transactions.

We are pleased to have supported IDG Capital in structuring continuation vehicles that deliver both alignment and long-term value for stakeholders. The complexity of this deal – covering both onshore and offshore structures and a diverse set of assets – demonstrates the capabilities of our global secondaries platform to execute in dynamic markets.”
