Patria Investments successfully raises over USD 670m for its Secondary Opportunities Fund V
GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Patria Investments, a global alternative asset manager and industry leader in Latin America and Europe, has successfully closed Patria Secondary Opportunities Fund V ("SOF V"), securing over USD 670m in total commitments.
SOF V closed more than a third above its initial target size of USD 500m and is a significant increase on the size of its predecessor fund Patria Secondary Opportunities Fund IV. SOF V attracted commitments from a diverse global investor base spanning institutional investors, family offices and private wealth channels. Re-ups and existing Patria clients accounted for approximately 55% of SOF V commitments, with the remaining 45% of commitments coming from new investors.
The Fund attracted capital from five regions with North America representing over 50% of total commitments, followed by Europe at approximately 40%, with additional commitments from investors in Latin America, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
Growing secondaries platform
The secondaries market continues to benefit from attractive long-term fundamentals, supported by the continued growth of private markets and increasing demand from GPs and LPs for liquidity and portfolio management solutions.
SOF V is designed to capitalize on these dynamics by leveraging Patria’s established presence, tenured team and deep relationships in the European and North American mid-markets. The Fund’s strategy focuses predominantly on private equity secondary opportunities that are below the radar or hard to access, but where Patria can use its manager relationships and portfolio insights to acquire high quality assets in less competitive circumstances, both via LP-led and GP-led transactions
Patrick Knechtli, Partner and Head of Secondaries, Patria Global Private Markets Solutions, said: "The successful close of SOF V above its target is an important milestone for Patria’s secondaries strategy given the transition of our team into Patria just over two years ago. We are delighted with the support we have received from our existing investors throughout the fundraising process, and are really pleased to have attracted a number of significant new clients. Our selective approach focusing on smaller-sized secondary deals, with a strong weighting to European and lower-middle market private equity assets, has resonated well with investors in the current environment. SOF V has already completed a number of attractive off-market deals and we continue to see interesting deal flow that we are well placed to address out of our new fund."
