Liquidity Solutions for Private Equity Limited Partners
Montauk TriGuard Funds' objective is to purchase limited partnership interests in private equity funds through secondary transactions. The General Partner currently manages approximately $1.5 billion.
Growth of the Secondary Market
The growth and maturity of the private equity market has generated significant secondary market opportunities. The Partners believe that between 2% and 5% of all primary commitments will eventually be available on the secondary market.
The market for sales of existing limited partnership interests has grown significantly over the last decade, both in terms of transaction volume and aggregate dollars raised to invest in secondary transactions.
Management Team Uniquely Experienced in Niche Secondaries
The management team consists of six professionals with over 100 years of combined secondary market experience. The Partners have significant experience in private debt, mezzanine and equity deals in specialty industries. Their broad secondary, niche and deal "underwriting" experience, combined with deep industry, relationships provides a unique advantage in sourcing, evaluating, valuing and completing niche secondary transactions.
Montauk TriGuard specializes in a multi-niche investment strategy that focuses on tertiary liquidity (a secondary transaction in a secondary fund), consortia carve-outs, specialty funds, small transactions, seasoned tail-ends and fund manager liquidity. .
We bring significant experience and a relationship-driven approach to every opportunity we pursue. It is our goal to offer first-class service in everything we do—whether evaluating assets, helping prospective sellers make educated decisions about their portfolios, or navigating the complex details of the sale process.
Sellers benefit from the experience that our team has developed successfully executing nearly 150 secondary transactions over nearly 20 years as secondary specialists. From large financial institutions and corporations to family offices and individual investors, we have tailored creative solutions to address sellers' objectives and have seamlessly executed transfers on hundreds of fund interests.
We work collaboratively to understand the various objectives you seek to accomplish. For some investors, confidentiality and certainty of execution might be just as important as liquidity. For others, the relief from future unfunded commitments and administrative burdens might be a driving factor. Through active dialogue, we craft solutions that address these various objectives and create value in our transactions beyond price
