Transaction Advisory

Sente Global advises funds and family offices on sourcing, structuring and diligence across private and late-stage transactions.

Independent, mandate-based advisory. Investment decisions always rest with the client.

One focus: secondary
advisory

Sente Global is a transaction advisory boutique for private fund managers and institutional investors in alternative assets. We source, structure and diligence secondary transactions. Everything else we do sits around that.

Together with our partners we have closed more than $1 billion of late-stage secondary transactions across venture, technology and digital-asset positions, acting for fund sponsors, family offices and institutional allocators. That record, and the GP relationships behind it, is what a client engages.

The practice was built by a general partner running a late-stage secondary strategy across AI, robotics and space. It is Cayman-domiciled, mandate- based and led by the principal on every engagement.

Limited partners

Acquisition mandates

Secondary advisory
on both sides of the table

Buy-side work for investors entering secondary positions: sourcing through GP relationships, pricing against secondary clearing levels, commercial diligence and investment memoranda written for the committee, and structuring of the acquisition vehicle.

General partners

Single-asset and direct secondaries

Sale of minority positions in sponsored venture and buyout companies, including late-stage unicorn stakes. We manage transfer restrictions, ROFR and co-investor dynamics, and run competitive processes against a global buyer base to clear at the highest achievable price.

Portfolio disposals

Sale of fund-interest portfolios from mandate to closing. We set reservation pricing, define the buyer universe, prepare the information package, manage GP consents and transfer restrictions, run the data room and NDA process, and negotiate bids through to the purchase and sale agreement.

Tail-end fund disposals

Wind-down of mature funds through portfolio sale or continuation vehicle. Scope covers portfolio evaluation, process design, portfolio-company communication, data room and NDA management, bid negotiation and PSA support.

Secondary pricing

Quarterly and annual marks reflecting secondary-market clearing levels rather than reported NAV, across core and non-core holdings. One-off pricing opinions support internal transfers, sale or purchase decisions and audit review.

LP liquidity programmes

Tender offers and large LP replacements for managers seeking to give investors an exit without selling the fund. We establish the clearing price and select buyers prepared to back the incumbent manager over the long term on aligned terms.

Portfolio leverage

Structuring and sourcing of NAV-based facilities against private equity portfolios. Used by buyers to sharpen bids and by holders to generate interim liquidity or lift returns without a sale.

Fund-level financing

Debt and equity for managers requiring follow-on capital or a distribution to investors: annex funds, NAV facilities and hybrid structures, sourced on competitive terms from a broad base of lenders and capital providers.

Structured liquidity

Alternatives to an outright sale where price, timing or tax make a clean exit inefficient: preferred equity, deferred consideration, risk-sharing arrangements, SPV wrappers and synthetic transfers.

Few mandates, large tickets, close attention to each.

We are selective. The practice carries a small number of names at a time and prefers depth to volume: single positions and portfolios where the ticket is large, the process is complex and the result depends on execution. More than 20 transactions of that scale have shaped how we run a process. Each mandate is built around the case, not around a template, and problems that surface along the way are solved inside the process rather than passed back to the client.

Selective

We decline more mandates than we accept. A name is taken on when we can add to price, certainty or speed, not because a fee is available.

Independent

Conflicts checked before every mandate. We are not tied to a single counterparty or platform, and the decision remains with the client.

Discreet

Value is maximised quietly. Client work and references are shared only with consent, and a process is never wider than it needs to be.

Global reach, and the relationship before the transaction

Coverage of buyers and sectors across geographies is the baseline for a secondary advisor. Our model starts one step earlier. We know sellers and buyers long before they arrive with a transaction: which LP is rebalancing next year, which sponsor will need a liquidity option, which family office is building a position in a name. Seeing what is around the corner lets us arrive first, and a process that opens with a known counterparty clears faster and at a better price.
