HarbourVest raises $2.4bn for private credit secondary strategy
HarbourVest Partners has secured $2.4bn in initial capital commitments for a new private credit secondary strategy, as demand for liquidity in the private debt market continues to drive growth in the secondary market, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
HarbourVest Partners has successfully raised $2.4bn in initial capital commitments for a new private credit secondary strategy, as disclosed by the Wall Street Journal. The firm, based in Boston, has utilized various vehicles such as a senior credit secondary fund and an opportunistic credit secondary vehicle to secure the capital.
Despite not disclosing an overall target, HarbourVest plans to continue fundraising through 2027. The firm has already deployed around $500m across five transactions, including three GP-led deals and two initiated by limited partners. HarbourVest's LP-led transactions have primarily involved purchases of private credit assets from investors looking to sell diversified portfolios, while its GP-led investments have focused on providing liquidity to investors in funds nearing or exceeding their original investment periods.
The firm has assembled a 16-person secondary team, comprising 11 dedicated investment professionals, to manage the strategy.
