Products and Services

• Primary Investments:

Engages in investments with private equity funds during their initial formation stage. This approach allows investors to participate in a diverse array of underlying portfolio companies from the outset, potentially reducing risk and enhancing returns over the investment period.

• Secondary Investments:

Focuses on purchasing existing stakes in private equity funds or portfolios of direct investments from other investors. Secondary investments can offer quicker liquidity compared to primary investments and may allow investors to enter at different stages of the fund's lifecycle, often at a discount to the net asset value.

• Direct Co-Investments:

Allows investors to invest directly in companies alongside HarbourVest and other investors, bypassing the traditional fund structure. This method potentially offers higher returns due to lower fee structures and closer relationships with the target investments.

• Fund of Funds Investments:

HarbourVest invests in a diversified portfolio of private equity funds, including HarbourVest-managed funds. This strategy aims to spread risk and offer investors exposure to a broader array of private equity transactions across different stages, sectors, and geographies.
