Amanda is the Director of Product Management for PEI, whose editorial titles include Private Equity International, Secondaries Investor, Buyouts, PE Hub, VCJ, Real Estate Capital, Private Equity Real Estate, Agri Investor, Infrastructure Investor, Private Debt Investor, Regulatory Compliance Watch and Private Funds CFO. She was previously the company's Group Managing Editor.
The Paris-based firm, also in exclusive talks for some of Natixis' French private equity operations, has closed 'one of the largest secondary private equity transactions in history' with the purchase of a portfolio of mature fund interests.
The listed firm is expected to again team with Coller Capital to spin out a portfolio, but the potential transaction would see 3i become the manager of the assets in play rather than the seller.
The firm’s secondary team, which has committed 75% of its $2.9bn Fund VII, has jointly funded the spin-out of a German VC group whose new media portfolio includes some high profile companies like Groupon.
