CVC Secondary Partners (U.S.)

The firm leverages CVC Capital Partners' global network of institutional relationships, including pension funds, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds that are existing investors in CVC funds. This network provides access to LP stake sales and GP-led continuation vehicle opportunities. The U.S. team also participates in structured auctions and builds direct relationships with sellers.

CVC Secondary Partners targets buyout, credit, and growth equity secondary opportunities across fund vintages. Stakes range from minority LP portfolio purchases to large GP-led continuation vehicles, and can include positions in vintage years from 2000 to present.

CVC Secondary Partners operates as a dedicated team within CVC Capital Partners, the global private equity firm. It is not a separate legal fund but rather an investment vehicle that uses capital from CVC's broader balance sheet or its dedicated secondary fund structures to execute deals.

CVC Capital Partners listed on Euronext Amsterdam in April 2024. The secondary unit continues to operate as part of the listed entity's asset management division, with the same institutional ownership structure. The IPO did not change the fundamental structure or strategy of the secondary unit.

CVC Secondary Partners does not publicly disclose excluded sectors. However, as part of CVC Capital Partners, it likely follows the parent firm's avoidance of certain controversial industries such as tobacco, adult entertainment, and high-carbon assets, though this is inferred from industry norms.
