PRESS RELEASE

Adveq, a leading asset manager investing in private equity and real assets globally, today announces that Adveq Secondaries II closed above its USD 150 million target, reaching its hard cap of USD 175 million.

Adveq Secondaries II, held its final close on September 30, 2013. The fund’s investors are pension funds, insurance companies and family offices across the world.

Adveq Secondaries II seeks to continue the strategy of its predecessor fund, Adveq Secondaries C.V., by selectively executing sub-radar transactions. It globally pursues opportunities across a broad range of investment stages, including small and midsize buyout opportunities, development capital, seed/early-stage venture capital and special situations.

Like its predecessor fund, Adveq Secondaries II takes an analytical bottom-up approach to executing secondary transactions in order to build a well diversified portfolio with strong underlying company fundamentals.

Sven Lidén, Chief Executive Officer at Adveq, said:
“At Adveq we are big believers in the value of sub-radar secondary transactions. The expertise of our global team allows us to target those single line sales or small portfolios, typically from smaller funds, which only a few potential buyers with deep insights can access. The great deal of interest that Adveq Secondaries II has received since its launch shows that investors mirror this view.”
