Collaboration Offers a Secondary Market Liquidity Platform in the Alternative Investment Market
Socium Fund Services, a Suntera Global company specializing in private equity and private credit fund administration, is partnering with Hedgebay Securities, LLC, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer. This collaboration aims to deliver tailored secondary market liquidity solutions to General Partners (GPs) and Limited Partners (LPs) in the alternative investments market.
Private investment funds have long faced challenges in providing liquidity options for their investors. Leveraging Hedgebay’s innovative platform, Socium’s clients can now access a controlled, secure environment curated by the GP, allowing investors to buy or sell their LP interests seamlessly. Moreover, Hedgebay’s unique solution allows GPs and LPs to gain the ability to borrow or lend against their singular LP positions, private companies, and other private or illiquid assets.
Jason Meklinsky, Chief Revenue Officer at Socium Fund Services, emphasized the significance of strategic alliances in adapting to the dynamic market landscape. “Our commitment lies in empowering clients to navigate the evolving market with flexibility and sustainability,” stated Meklinsky. “Recognizing the pivotal role liquidity plays in private fund investments, our collaboration with Hedgebay offers a compelling solution, enabling firms to optimize their investment strategies effectively. Hedgebay’s proven secondary marketplace facilitates liquidity for both GPs and LPs, encompassing buying, selling, borrowing, and lending against private or illiquid assets.”
Jared Herman, President of Hedgebay Securities, added, “We are excited to join forces with leading global fund administrators like Socium, who seek innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of their clients. Liquidity has long been a challenge for participants in the private markets, and now, through Socium’s initiative, their clients can access a marketplace with 24 years of experience that provides multiple liquidity options, including financing for future fund commitments, asset sales, or opportunistic purchases. We look forward to working with Socium and their clients.”
