Uniqa to sell $665m private equity portfolio

According to Bloomberg, Uniqa has brought in secondaries intermediary Campbell Lutyens to manage the deal.

The new wave of post-crash regulations such as Solvency II for insurance firms and Basel III for banks is boosting dealflow for the secondaries market, with transaction volumes peaking at $25bn in 2012.

Solvency II groups private equity funds with hedge funds and other alternative assets, which are subject to capital requirements ranging between 40-59%. This makes investments in the asset class some of the most expensive for insurance companies.
