HarbourVest Partners Closes Secondaries Fund At Hard Cap

Tenth Fund in Dover Street Program Oversubscribed at $8.1 Billion

BOSTON--()--HarbourVest Partners, a global private markets asset manager, today announced the final close of its latest secondaries fund, Dover Street X. The fund was oversubscribed and closed at its hard cap, resulting in a fund size of $8.1 billion including the General Partner’s commitment.

The size of this fund marks a milestone for HarbourVest and demonstrates the continued success of the firm's strategy of focusing on the less efficient segments of the secondary market to seek outperformance. HarbourVest has deployed over $25 billion into secondaries transactions since inception, leveraging the firm’s global capabilities and experience to help identify attractive opportunities for investors.

“Nearly 35 years after our first secondary transaction, it is exciting to close the 10th fund in our Dover Street program,” said Jeff Keay, Managing Director, HarbourVest Partners. “We’ve completed more than 500 transactions over the past three decades, providing our investors with high-performing, mature, global portfolios of private market assets.”

Limited partners in the fund span the globe and consist of corporations, pension funds, endowments, foundations, sovereign wealth funds, and ultra-high net worth private sector investors.

“As the secondaries market continues to grow in both size and complexity, HarbourVest’s ability to deliver customized liquidity solutions to GPs and LPs at scale has become a key differentiator for us,” said Keay. “Our global secondaries team has decades of experience and deep industry relationships, which, combined with our expertise, have continued to make HarbourVest a preferred partner in private markets.”
