OUR BUSINESS

We are direct investors in funds through our investing entities with a focus on secondary interests across private markets.

At Pennant, we invest directly in funds and structured transactions, specializing in unlocking capital from illiquid, complex, or legacy positions. Our core investment strategy began with acquiring secondary interests in hedge funds. Driven by investor appetite and market dynamics, we expanded our focus to include private equity, real assets, and litigation finance strategies. Secondary transactions are often shaped by portfolio rebalancing, restructurings, or shifting capital needs. Our experienced team navigates these dynamics with insight, agility, and execution certainty. Backed by committed investors, we act decisively on the right opportunities and deliver results others can’t. At Pennant, we don’t just transact—we solve.

LPs and GPs rely on Pennant to deliver tailored liquidity—ranging from traditional LP stake sales to complex GP-led restructurings. With direct access to committed capital, we offer speed, discretion, and the confidence to close. Our nearly two decades of secondary market expertise enables us to consistently deliver results in transactions that require alignment, clarity, and decisive execution.

For over a decade, we’ve catered to a trusted network of three families and two large institutional investors, sharing high-conviction ideas and offering transparent access to emerging strategies. This enduring alignment enables us to act swiftly and confidently on complex opportunities. Sellers benefit from a direct line to trusted capital and execution certainty, while our investors value our focus on capital preservation and long-term value creation.
