HVPE provides easy access to a diversified global portfolio of high-quality private companies by investing in HarbourVest managed funds.
Put simply, we focus exclusively on providing investors with access to those companies not listed on stock exchanges.
HVPE is traded on the London Stock Exchange, offering shareholders daily liquidity while maintaining exposure to an asset class that is typically reserved for large institutional investors. By bridging the gap between private markets and public investors, HVPE democratises access to private market investments, enabling everyday shareholders to benefit from the potential growth, returns, and diversification that private markets can offer.
We do this through a strategic approach to investing in a portfolio of vehicles managed by HarbourVest, our Investment Manager (“Manager”).
Our focus is on building a comprehensive global portfolio of the highest-quality investments, in a proactive yet measured way, with the strength of our balance sheet underpinning everything we do.
By investing in vehicles managed by HarbourVest, HVPE provides all types of investors with institutional quality opportunities across a broad universe of private companies via exposure through primary fund investments, secondary investments, and direct co-investments. HVPE provides access to investments at through many stages of the company lifecycle from earlier stage venture and growth investments to the more mature companies at the buyout stage.
