Truly Differentiated Private Capital Advisor
- Configure’s Private Capital Advisory team was developed in response to the evolution of specialized capital formation and investors in the secondaries market. We see a clear gap in the market: while secondaries solutions have become well-developed for mega-fund managers, middle-market sponsors, and credit managers have less access to the bespoke, tailored solutions their platforms desire
- We bring a dedicated private capital advisory team with a strong track record of success as service providers and secondary investors
- We specialize in tailored liquidity solutions that align GP objectives with investor needs, ensuring optimal outcomes and long-term partnership
Our firm keeps a finger on the pulse of the private equity middle-market and lower-middle-market by sitting at the intersection of sponsors and capital providers around private assets. We have deep experience in articulating equity and credit underwriting theses and executing on their respective placement in the primary market through our dedicated debt placement business. Through continuous engagement with the secondary investor community, Configure maintains a clear, real-time view of evolving market terms, capital availability, and structuring dynamics. This combination creates a differentiated, unbeatable platform at the intersection of private equity and private credit.
For Our GP Clients
We help managers secure additional time to exit and raise co-investment capital for portfolio companies by building runway to maximize value and realigning economic incentives for assets through customized secondaries solutions. Our solutions are designed around the specific needs of each manager, not a one-size-fits-all framework.
The secondary market can be a powerful tool for managing LP liquidity needs and securing additional primary dollars, and we approach every transaction with that dynamic at the forefront. Informed by our fundraising backgrounds, we prioritize fair, transparent processes that protect the GP-LP relationship and support the platform’s long-term health. With relationships spanning more than 1,000 limited partners, we deliver efficient, well-supported outcomes across every mandate we undertake.
