Improved Shareholder Alignment
We appreciate that private equity investors, whether GPs, corporations, financial institutions or individuals, face liquidity needs unrelated to a company’s opportunity. We recognize there are a plethora of reasons why it is appropriate for an investor to sell even in companies with outstanding future return potential. We invest in opportunities where we can offer liquidity to selected shareholders and then work with ongoing investors and management teams to execute long-term growth plans. By offering interim liquidity to shareholders, W Capital better aligns the longer-term shareholder base and empowers management to continue executing on its growth objectives. Once shareholders, we actively support our portfolio companies by providing access to our broad network of relationships, board involvement and expansion capital to finance growth and acquisitions.
• Direct secondary share purchases

We provide liquidity solutions for many of the world’s leading private equity firms. Top-tier private equity firms have embraced secondary solutions as an effective management tool, spearheading transactions for some of their best assets. We partner with control sponsors seeking to continue growing well-performing companies while selling down a minority position or providing co-investor or limited partner liquidity.
Whether transacting directly with a minority equityholder or providing capital to support GP-led secondary transactions, our GP solutions better align duration, equity reserves and the terms and incentives for active managers while facilitating liquidity for selling stakeholders at fair value.
