Blackstone has held an initial close of $5bn for Strategic Partners Fund X with 'another major close' expected in the coming weeks, president and COO Jon Gray said on the firm's earnings call.

Despite economic headwinds and geopolitical uncertainty, there is still a strong appetite for North American secondaries in 2026, sources tell Secondaries Investor.

Ex-Blackstone dealmaker Mustafa Siddiqui’s firm, launched in January, closed its first CV with K1 Investment Management and has since made three more investments, affiliate title Secondaries Investor understands.

CVs continue private equity's history of innovation and evolution and will likely become part of the asset class's long term set of options for exits, co-managing partners Jeff Rhodes told Buyouts.

The transaction run by Chicago-headquartered investment firm Tyree & D’Angelo Partners was oversubscribed, Secondaries Investor understands.

The change in the investment policy will streamline the SBI's investment process and keep it in line with the policies of its peers, according to its CIO.

The Siguler Guff spin-out launched the fund earlier this year and is eyeing an end-of-year close, affiliate title Secondaries Investor has learned.

While more buyers are coming into the smaller end of the CV market, there remains less competition compared with larger deals creating room for steeper discounts, according to a report.

The firm's Keystone strategy provides bespoke offerings to alternatives managers at the management company, fund and asset level.

Co-CEO Marc Lipschultz said ‘we plan to be the leader’ in GP-leds during the firm's July 31 Q2 conference call.
