Secondaries shops with USA offices outside of NY / SF

Hi all,

I'm at a secondaries / primary / co-invest shop and am getting tired of SF / NYC. Other than PG, I can't think of any shops with offices outside those two cities. Please let me know if you have any off the top of head.

Best,

Chimptacular

Thanks and great to hear - I'm currently at a T1 MF but I'm open to all sizes. I think I'd veer towards another MF but could see myself at an emerging manager where I can have a more meaningful impact on future growth. 

Frankly I'd love to be in Denver or another city with access to mountains. Personal thing but I enjoy outdoor activities / winter sports. 

 

A few come to mind on the bigger end of the spectrum:

  1. Hamilton Lane (Philly area)
  1. Star Mountain (Tampa) - raising a 500m fund - not the best though.
  1. Dorchestor (LA) - I'd avoid, they suck.
  1. Portfolio advisors (Darien CT)
  1. Aberdeen (Boston)
  1. GCM Grosvenor (Chicago)
  1. Sweetwater (smaller size but growing) - they're near LA
  1. Timber Bay (Cincinnati) - also smaller but growing
  1. Adams Street (Chicago)

Some of these may be too small for you.
