With dedicated professionals we bring a focused approach to fundraising, limiting the number of funds simultaneously represented and select the highest quality funds in the market.  UBS-PFG considers this level of focus to be essential in order for a General Partner to succeed in today's market.  Our approach is tailored to the needs of our clients, with an emphasis on understanding each General Partner's specific issues and requirements in order to raise the optimal amount of capital from the most appropriate investor base, while ensuring the General Partner's time is used efficiently.

UBS PFG also offers a leading secondary market advisory service focused on advising limited partners and holders of equity stakes in private companies on their liquidity options. We provide general partners with fund recapitalization ideas through the secondary market. With a team of approximately 20 professionals, we have advised clients in the US, Europe and Asia on over 130 transactions representing in excess of $53 billion.

The solutions we have implemented—and often pioneered—have included straight sales, leveraged sales, structured joint ventures, stapled primary transactions and management team spin-offs.
