Managing Director and Head of Asia-Pacific | 董事總經理暨亞太區主管, Carlyle Global Wealth
We are honoured to receive the Best Fund Provider – Private Markets – Secondaries award. We believe this recognition reflects Carlyle’s deep global expertise, our ability to deliver institutional-quality solutions for the wealth channel, and our focus on creating differentiated value for investors.
We see Secondaries as not only a growing asset class, but one with characteristics that can play a meaningful role in portfolio construction for private wealth. We also view this award as a reflection of our team’s dedication and the trust and support of our partners and their clients across Asia Pacific, to whom we extend our heartfelt thanks.
Winners Rationale
“As secondaries became a hot asset class for Asian private wealth clients, Carlyle emerged as a leading player thanks to the firm’s scale and experience, integrated platform and global reach, proprietary and proactive sourcing,” said Stanley Li, senior reporter at Asian Private Banker.
“Carlyle AlpInvest Private Markets (CAPM) and Carlyle AlpInvest Private Markets Secondaries (CAPS) are designed to bring private wealth clients the same institutional-grade private equity access that Carlyle AlpInvest has delivered to its institutional clients for over two decades.
“These solutions focus on the middle market where Carlyle AlpInvest’s core strength lies, capturing more attractive entry pricing and the strongest operational value creation opportunities. Core differentiators of these solutions include that every investment is underwritten with GP-level diligence, focusing on embedded value and quality of underlying companies. Meanwhile, a majority of recent secondary vintages were secured in proprietary or limited-auction settings.
“Launched this year, CAPS is the first evergreen pure-play private equity secondaries solution in Asia and is viewed by distributors as a priority addition for clients seeking innovative, specialist private market solutions.
“With a strong and experienced team based in Asia, Carlyle Global Wealth provides full-cycle support to clients through various channels, including a digital platform and thought leadership content. All combined, Asian Private Banker believes Carlyle thoroughly deserves the award – Best Fund Provider – Secondaries.”
