Secondaries

Unigestion Secondary Opportunity Fund V has been in market since January targeting €700m.

Secondaries Investor delved into public filings to find out who is invested in the largest-ever secondaries programme.

The alternatives manager is targeting $2bn across a blindpool fund and SMAs.

The investment firm has acquired the PE team of Dutch asset manager Robeco and will seek €250m for its latest fund.

Secondaries funds are more exposed to individual companies than ever and will play a significant role in seeing them through the crisis.
