Zug, Switzerland – October 27, 2022 – Capital Dynamics, an independent global private asset management firm, today announced that it received the award for Best Secondaries Fund Performance in the over USD $500 million category at the 2022 Private Equity Wire Awards.

Martin Hahn, Chief Executive Officer of Capital Dynamics, said: “This award is a testament to both the performance of GSEC V and the strength of our global secondaries platform. The Fund set an all-time Capital Dynamics fundraising record, and the creativity of the strategy has earned superior returns for our investors. I am confident that our team will continue delivering for our clients by taking advantage of the significant opportunities in the secondaries market.”
