Benoît Durteste, CIO and CEO of ICG, commented:

LP Secondaries was borne out of our belief that there is significant merit to specialisation within the secondaries market. The success of this first-time fundraise, for a pure LP secondaries strategy, is testament to the appetite among clients who share in our conviction.

Oliver Gardey

This is a milestone moment for the ICG LP Secondaries team. We are extremely grateful for the confidence and support of our clients.
