Overview

VpESO

Vantage Private Equity Secondaries Opportunities (VPESO) Fund, is an open-ended, semi-liquid fund, established to provide investors immediate exposure to a diversified private equity portfolio of funds and portfolio companies managed by the top tier private equity managers in the region. 

The Fund makes LP-led and GP-led secondary acquisitions within the Australia and New Zealand private equity segment. In addition, VPESO makes co-investment commitments into the most high-conviction deals, investing directly alongside private equity managers in Australia and New Zealand. 

Despite private equity’s track record as a high performing asset class, secondaries into the best performing funds for an individual investor is virtually impossible to achieve. Vantage’s proven secondary approach broadens investor access and participation to the asset class.

To date, VPESO has completed seven LP-led secondary private equity investments and four co-investments. These investments are diversified across growth, buyout and turnaround investment strategies.

The Fund holds exposure to 127 underlying portfolio companies, of which 28 have been sold. The Fund has a highly diversified portfolio of investments across both growth and defensive industry sectors, including technology and software, healthcare, professional services, consumer staples, industrials and agriculture.
