Summary
INVL Family Office, one of the largest multi-family offices in the Baltic states, has successfully closed its inaugural Global PE Secondaries Access Fund offering at USD 17.4 million. The fund, launched in June 2026, attracted 49 investors from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia during its offering period. Capital raised will be deployed through Adams Street Partners, a U.S.-based investment manager with substantial experience in the private equity secondary market.
The fundraising reflects a notable shift in investor behavior within Baltic institutional circles. Antonas Kostinas, Fund Manager of the Global PE Secondaries Access Fund, noted that "investors across the Baltic States are showing growing interest in global alternative investments and are seeking new opportunities to diversify their portfolios." The manager emphasized that private equity secondary strategies are increasingly viewed as essential portfolio components for institutional investors seeking exposure to mature PE portfolios without direct fund commitments.
Adams Street Partners serves as the operational anchor for the strategy. The firm commands significant scale and expertise in secondaries, managing over USD 73 billion in assets and maintaining a 40-year track record in secondary market investing dating to 1986. The firm has deployed capital into more than 1,300 private equity funds and sits on the advisory boards of over 500 funds. This deep institutional network positions the manager to identify attractive secondary market opportunities across global PE portfolios.
The private equity secondary market has emerged as a distinct alternative investment segment, offering investors streamlined access to established portfolios. Through a single investment vehicle, investors gain indirect exposure to more than 1,000 private companies worldwide. This structure reduces operational complexity and concentration risk compared to direct fund commitments. Kostinas highlighted that fund selection quality is paramount, citing "rigorous investment selection" and the importance of choosing partners with "experience, global reach and proven ability to identify attractive investment opportunities" as critical decision factors.
