Pomona Capital is a New York-based private equity secondary investment firm founded in 1994, specializing in the acquisition of interests in private equity funds and portfolios through the secondary market. The firm manages approximately $15 billion in assets and is one of the pioneering firms in private equity secondaries, having been among the first dedicated secondary managers to build a systematic approach to acquiring limited partnership interests from investors seeking early liquidity from their private equity commitments. Pomona's deep experience in evaluating, pricing, and managing secondary private equity portfolios has made it a respected and trusted name in the institutional secondary investment market.
Pomona Capital's investment strategy focuses exclusively on secondary market transactions, purchasing interests in private equity funds, venture capital funds, and other private market vehicles from existing investors who wish to exit their positions prior to the natural end of a fund's life. The firm evaluates secondary investments through rigorous due diligence on both the underlying portfolio companies within each fund and the fund manager's capabilities and performance history. Pomona's selective approach to secondary investing, combined with its ability to negotiate favorable pricing on complex portfolios, seeks to generate attractive returns through a combination of portfolio diversification, pricing discounts, and active portfolio management.
Pomona Capital has established a distinguished track record as one of the most experienced secondary private equity investors globally, providing institutional investors with an important liquidity mechanism within the private markets ecosystem while generating attractive returns for secondary buyers. The firm's 30-year history in the secondary market has produced deep relationships with both buyers and sellers of secondary interests, providing it with a robust pipeline of investment opportunities.
