The semi-liquid private equity strategy invests into a globally diversified portfolio of secondaries and co-investments focused on buyout opportunities. The portfolio has been built up over the last two years, investing after recent private equity market peaks, and today has over 850 underlying portfolio companies. The strategy benefits from the firm’s investment relationships with over 800 private equity sponsors globally.

The fund has raised almost AUD 1.6 billion globally with strong support from wealth managers and institutional investors. The Australian feeder fund was seeded with AUD 150 million from an Australian institutional investor and is currently available on Netwealth.

LGT Capital Partners manages over USD 70 billion in private equity, with a global team of over 350 private equity professionals and 15 offices in Europe, the US and Asia. Its private equity strategy leverages the firm’s scale and global reach.

Nathan Pensabene, Principal at LGT Capital Partners, added: “After the launch of our semi-liquid multi-alternatives fund for Australian and New Zealand investors in 2021, we are pleased to be able to offer our private equity platform to a wider range of clients through a semi-liquid fund structure. We see growing demand for more flexible private equity investment solutions and have launched the new fund to improve the accessibility of the asset class to potential investors.”

Pauline Wetter, Partner at LGT Capital Partners, said: “We currently see many opportunities to invest in private equity. Our new semi-liquid strategy provides access to a global set of high-quality opportunities in secondaries and co-investments. These are sourced from our extensive network of managers that we have built over more than 25 years and are carefully selected by our strong team to create a broadly diversified, global portfolio.”
