Hayfin is an active investor in private equity secondaries, acquiring equity exposure to some of the best European mid-market companies via single-asset GP-led solutions.

This strategy allows investors to gain equity exposure to European mid-market companies through a flexible structure approach, including continuation vehicles, transformational M&A financings, and minority recapitalisations. Hayfin works with private equity firms to provide liquidity and additional growth funding, to allow continued exposure and optimised value creation in their most-prized businesses. The strategy is focused on Healthcare, Technology and Business Services sectors, capitalising on Hayfin’s local knowledge and origination capabilities.

This is a concentrated, high conviction strategy seeking to generate alpha returns through privileged access to the best European mid-market assets, which are not accessible in the primary M&A market. The strategy benefits from strong alignment of interest with sponsors and management teams that already own, operate and know the target businesses intimately.
