Global private markets manager CVC has expanded its CVC Secondary Partners strategy into the rapidly growing credit secondaries market, with the launch of a dedicated global credit secondaries platform.
The new platform will be led by Partner, Henri Lusa, who brings more than 17 years of private credit and credit secondaries experience. Based in London, Lusa will lead a global, credit-focused secondaries team, focused on building a diversified portfolio of credit investments. The team will include professionals from CVC’s €48bn credit business, who will fully transition to the new platform.
CVC’s secondaries platform manages €17bn in assets across private equity secondaries strategies and provides liquidity solutions for third-party GPs and LPs. CVC Secondary Partners has experience of 200+ transactions, involving over 1,800 fund interests and more than 70+ bespoke continuation vehicles.
The CVC Credit Secondaries strategy will seek to generate returns through a diversified portfolio of credit related investments across geographies (Europe and US), fund vintages and transaction types (LP/GP-led) leveraging the $1.7tn growing private credit industry. The launch of the inaugural Credit Secondaries vehicle is planned for 2026.
