The most obvious path to liquidity maybe the easiest one to execute, but it is often not the best one for you. That is especially true in hard times, when liquidity is tight.
Over time, we have built a massive network of relationships with a wide range of investors, across the asset class. Whether you are looking to invest in or divest a particular type of asset, no matter how exotic it may be, talk to us. We might be able to help.
We have dealt with special situations far exceeding our imagination.
Whether you are a family office wanting to leverage your existing assets and become an asset manager, or you are seeking liquidity in your portfolio and don’t want to sell your assets, or anything else, talk to us.
Plain vanilla secondary sale of a portfolio of LP positions is the most common form of a private equity secondary transaction, in which a portfolio of interests in a number of venture capital and private equity funds are transferred from one investor to another.

At RainMakers PE, we have been working on secondary transactions involving minority stakes since 2005, and expanded into co-investment opportunities in 2009.
We have mapped the ground, developed a broad network of investors and acquired an unparalleled understanding of the market.
When times get tough and liquidity dries out and buyers are on the defensive mode, rare potential buyers for an illiquid asset may ask for mind-blowing discounts to offer liquidity. Paradoxically, this is the time you may be in need for liquidity.
An increasing number of investors offer NAV-based liquidity solutions, which are in effect a more sophisticated form of debt against private equity holdings. Give us a call to learn more.
When seeking to acquire LP positions in a particular fund, an investor may not wish its name and price to be out in the marketplace.
We initiate contact and negotiate with potential sellers on behalf of our client, keeping their name and price confidential.
From time to time we are requested by some LPs to provide specific consulting services focusing on the market segments we are particularly familiar with. Such assignments include:
