Frequently Asked Questions
Our Capital Solutions team executes a wide range of private market transactions: company-sponsored tender offers (end to end, including buyside sourcing and settlement), investor-led and company- sponsored secondary block trades, single-asset fund structures (as broker, co-GP, or sole GP), and primary capital raises for private companies.
Our team focuses on transactions where our institutional network, structuring expertise, and settlement infrastructure add meaningful value — which typically means later-stage private companies and institutional-grade transaction sizes. That said, we evaluate opportunities based on fit with our platform and relationships, not size alone. If you’re unsure whether your transaction is a fit, reach out and we’ll tell you directly.
Our role adapts to the structure the transaction requires. As broker, we act as a registered capital introducer— identifying investors and facilitating execution without taking an ownership stake in the vehicle. As co-GP, we partner alongside an existing general partner, adding our network, brand, and infrastructure to their deal. As sole GP, we take full responsibility for structuring and managing the investment vehicle ourselves. This flexibility allows us to engage with a wider range of transaction types and GP situations.
Our institutional investor network has been built over more than a decade of executing private market transactions. It spans leading global banks — including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, BNP Paribas, Citi, UBS, and Wells Fargo — alongside asset managers, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and dedicated secondary funds. For each transaction, we match the opportunity to investors whose mandate, check size, and sector focus align — rather than broadcasting broadly. This targeted approach protects confidentiality and improves execution quality.
Yes. Depending on the transaction, we can represent the issuing company (sell-side — helping structure a tender offer or primary raise), act as a neutral intermediary (block trades — connecting buyer and seller), or source and support institutional investors as a buyside resource. In some transactions, we play both roles with appropriate information barriers in place. We’ll be clear with all parties about our role and how we’re being compensated before any transaction begins.
Capital Solutions is one component of NPM’s integrated private market platform. Clients working with our Capital Solutions team benefit from the full NPM ecosystem: the marketplace for secondary transactions, our patented settlement infrastructure for compliant and efficient closing, our data and intelligence capabilities for market context, and our relationships with private companies built through hundreds of liquidity programs. This means Capital Solutions clients aren’t just getting a partner — they’re getting a platform.
