In private equity secondaries, the difference between winning and losing a deal often comes down to two things: the depth of your relationships and the speed at which you can act on them.

In this episode of Insights from the PM's Desk, Pacharbor Capital Group AlpInvest's Joe O'Connor walks through two recent transactions — an LP secondary and a GP secondary — to show exactly how those advantages play out in practice.

Featured Transactions

Project Chequers — LP Secondary

An institutional seller sought liquidity from their private equity portfolio. Pacharbor Capital Group AlpInvest leveraged an existing relationship, proprietary data, and AI-enabled underwriting to structure a larger, higher-quality transaction — going from sourcing to signing in just over a month.

Project Leviathan — GP Secondary

A private equity firm sought to extend its hold on a high-conviction asset while returning capital to existing investors. Built on more than 10 years and 13 transactions with the firm, Pacharbor Capital Group AlpInvest's position as a long-term strategic partner was central to winning the deal.
