Investment Strategies

Innovative Solutions
Constructed by Principled
Secondaries Investors

Pomona Capital’s purpose-built platform and innovative products are intended to generate consistent returns and provide differentiated opportunities.

 

We’ve deliberately designed our platform to align with the fundamental premise of private equity secondaries and to create value across market cycles.

Each aspect of the platform is built to emphasize quality, price and selectivity, and our one firm, one process approach to execute on our investment thesis. We seek to solve for two investment dynamics: asymmetry between risk and return and a material margin of safety.

Secondaries

Since our founding in 1994, Pomona has executed a consistent and disciplined strategy seeking to deliver on the fundamental premise of secondary investing, solving for both growth and value with enhanced liquidity and a lower risk profile. We have over $11 billion* in committed capital across various investment secondaries vehicles.

The Pomona approach is centered on constructing a portfolio of choice of high quality, mature assets purchased at meaningful discounts. We build and manage portfolios to be positioned for multiple market outcomes in order to capitalize on the upside and protect our investors on the downside.

High Quality, Resilient Assets

High Quality, Resilient Assets

Our target assets are managed by well-regarded GPs with established track records of success. We seek funds that have underlying companies that are resilient and growing across multiple economic cycles with attractive valuations.

Disciplined Pricing

Disciplined Pricing

Pomona maintains a disciplined pricing approach where we use our relationships, information and targeted sourcing to buy at better-than-market prices.

Liquidity

Liquidity

We seek to provide enhanced levels of liquidity, which can offer a differentiated cash flow curve to allow our investors to optimize their portfolio management.

Lower Risk Profile

Lower Risk Profile

To help manage risk and provide a margin of safety, we (1) construct diversified portfolios and (2) proactively manage our portfolios including selling underlying funds from our own flagship secondaries funds.
