AXA PE continues secondaries spree with OMERS portfolio purchase

The portfolio consists entirely of buyout funds. It represents a total size of approximately $850m in original commitments, in predominantly North American and global funds. OMERS stated the move was consistent with its strategic shift towards direct investing.

Meanwhile, AXA PE is building a streak of large purchases on the secondaries market – the firm notably bought $1.7bn worth of private equity assets from Citigroup in June 2011, and completed the $740m acquisition of private equity assets from Barclays that same month.

AXA PE secured $7.1bn for its secondaries fund-of-funds and $900m for its primary investment fund-of-funds in mid-June.
