Benson Li has left Sackville Capital, the wealth firm founded by former Goldman Sachs executive Nasir Alsharif, around two years after joining as head of investments, according to a report by Bloomberg citing UK filings. The firm oversees assets for a billionaire Saudi family and has been repositioning its strategy towards private markets.
Li joined Sackville to help shift the portfolio away from public markets. Sackville has continued to increase its exposure to private markets, including anchoring a New York-based firm that acquires stakes in mid-market alternative asset managers.
He previously spent more than a decade investing in private markets at Canadian pension funds Alberta Investment Management Corp and OMERS, and later worked at a London-based firm managing wealth for Russian tycoons.
Sackville was founded in 2019 and invests across private equity funds, direct company stakes and venture capital, including through AI-focussed platform BNVT Capital.
