GCM Grosvenor, a leading global alternative asset management firm, has announced the launch of its dedicated private debt secondaries fund, with a target of $1.2 billion. This move marks the firm's significant expansion into the private debt secondaries market, following its successful $972 million close for its GCM Grosvenor Secondary Opportunities Fund III earlier this year.
The new fund will focus on acquiring interests in middle-market buyout funds, emphasizing both Limited Partner- and General Partner-led secondary transactions. This initiative comes as part of GCM Grosvenor's broader strategy to leverage growing opportunities in the secondary market, particularly in the credit sector.
With approximately $79 billion in assets under management, GCM Grosvenor continues to diversify its investment strategies, which include private equity, infrastructure, real estate, credit, and absolute return strategies. The firm's expansion into private debt secondaries underscores its commitment to providing comprehensive alternative investment solutions to its global client base.
