SwanCap

SwanCap's secondaries expertise was recently showcased at Antwort Capital's large HNW event in Luxembourg. Our focused bottom-up approach provides cautious differentiation and an interesting complementary exposure to institutional class private equity buyouts, spread over time.

Co-investing has become a powerful tool for LPs seeking direct exposure to private equity deals, providing both financial upside and deeper GP insights. In our first speaker interview for the upcoming 0100 Europe conference in Amsterdam, Volker Wende, Partner at SwanCap, shared his perspectives on how SwanCap has successfully executed 150+ co-investments alongside 70+ GPs, leveraging a structured and disciplined approach to optimize returns and manage risks. Here are some key takeaways from our conversation: ✅ SwanCap’s Investment Criteria: The firm evaluates co-investments across three key dimensions – Company Perimeter, Transaction Setting, and Portfolio Diversification – ensuring a balanced risk-return profile. ✅ Managing Risks in Co-Investing: Diversification and team expertise are critical. SwanCap’s dedicated in-house team ensures swift execution and deep due diligence, allowing them to remain selective and create alpha. ✅ The Growing Role of ESG: ESG is deeply embedded in SwanCap’s investment process, from due diligence to ongoing monitoring during the holding period. The firm collaborates closely with GPs to align on sustainability. ✅ Co-Investment Trends & Market Outlook: The co-investment landscape is evolving, with pre-deal opportunities on the rise. LP-GP relationships have become even more collaborative and strategic, shaping the future of private equity. ✅ The Power of Industry Events: Staying visible and engaged is key in co-investing. Volker emphasized that industry gatherings like 0100 Europe in Amsterdam (April 2-4) serve as essential platforms for networking, deal sourcing, and industry intelligence! 😉 💡 Volker will be speaking at 0100 Europe in Amsterdam, joining the panel "LP Co-investments: Risks, Benefits & Future Outlook", alongside: Jesse de Klerk, Partner at Stafford Capital Partners Jørgen Hjorth Blystad, Investment Director at Argentum Asset Management Bernardo Marques dos Santos, Principal at Qualitas Funds Carl Grysolle, Managing Partner at Maxus Capital 🎤 Don’t miss the chance to meet these industry leaders in Amsterdam!
