The Pomona platform is designed to optimize and capitalize on the synergies created between our investment strategies and product solutions. We strategically integrate our network of relationships and insight gained across the secondaries and primaries investment strategies with our products; the Institutional Flagship Funds, Registered Fund, and Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). It is a platform purposely built to create an edge and deliver differentiated value.
Our Platform
Pomona’s fundamental strategy is based on the following core tenets:
We take a tactical approach to generating high-quality opportunities rather than buying a slice of the generic secondaries market.
We seek to consistently buy at a meaningful discount to NAV.
We act as a principal investor and not an asset gatherer, emphasizing selectivity over volume and executing on just 1-2% of analyzed deal flow annually.
We control the choices we make and manage proactively to prepare for various potential market outcomes.
We seek to provide creative solutions to capitalize on opportunities without adding risk.
We are dedicated to evolving and improving by learning from market cycles, ensuring resilience and adaptability.
In the ever-expanding landscape of the secondaries market, finding unique opportunities and navigating alternatives requires a disciplined and experienced fund manager with a keen focus on critical factors such as asset quality, pricing, performance and alignment of interests.
Pomona Capital’s distinct edge lies in our unwavering emphasis on resilience, opportunity, and people.
We believe that reputation and integrity matter. We are a people business and our priority is building meaningful relationships with counterparts including general partners, sellers and investors. Today, we have long-standing relationships with leading private equity managers and a global investor base.
