Arcis - Secondary Investors in Private Equity

Arcis Group

Investment Criteria

We invest in private equity funds on a secondary basis; we sometimes purchase positions in these funds while they are still in their investment phase and have not been fully called down. We can also purchase the positions of all the limited partners in a fund or portfolios of positions in private companies.

Investment type

We can invest in most private equity fund structures and purchase positions in funds or in portfolios with diverse investment strategies (i.e. early stage, growth development capital, LBO). There is no industry preference. We normally invest in funds which have an original life of ten years.

Investment geography

Europe, North America and Asia. 

Investment Process


We can complete the analysis of an investment opportunity and close a transaction in a short time frame with the appropriate level of professionalism, supported by a strong expertise gained over many years in the secondary market.

To complete a transaction, depending on the level of due diligence required and on the number of positions in funds and/or in companies, the process takes from two weeks to two months.

We are sensitive to the required level of confidentiality during the investment process as well as after completion of the transaction.
