The fund will continue with ISF's focus on acquisitions of holdings in private companies and venture capital funds.

The asset management arm of the Dutch energy company overcame market volatility to sell a €700m private equity portfolio, though planned to sell more.

The firm has held the final close and first close on its latest venture capital and private equity secondaries funds, respectively, according to chief executive Scott Hart.

Goldman Sachs Asset Management is in market with its ninth private equity secondaries fund, having closed its predecessor on $10.3bn.

Argosy Strategic Partners, the firm's secondaries unit, exceeded its fundraising target in just five months since its first close.

The $500m deal centred on Micross Components, which has grown its revenue 10x over the last five years.

The London-based manager's fourth fund is the second big first close by a secondaries buyer this week.

The firm is expected to hold the final close on its latest programme before end-June.

The sale is one of several that hit the market since the second half of 2021, when traditional LP portfolio sales came surging back into the market.

The deal closed the books on Prospect’s $200m Prospect Partners III, with almost all of its LPs opting to cash out, partner Erik Maurer tells Secondaries Investor.
