PACT Capital Partners Launches to Support Middle-Market Asset Managers
PACT Capital Partners, an independent investment firm, has launched with a focus on providing capital and strategic support to middle-market alternative asset management firms. The company, headquartered in New York, aims to partner with high-performing private capital firms to help them achieve their strategic objectives.
PACT Capital Partners utilizes its proprietary imPACT platform to assist partner firms in accelerating capital formation, designing and launching new products, improving operations, attracting and retaining talent, leveraging cutting-edge technology, and improving outcomes for underlying portfolio companies. The firm’s leadership team combines deep investment experience with a passion for helping high-performing asset management firms achieve their goals.
The launch of PACT Capital Partners is supported by strategic anchor investments from Reinsurance Group of America (RGA) and Sackville Capital. RGA, a global leader in life and health reinsurance, has made a strategic investment in PACT through a wholly-owned subsidiary. This investment demonstrates RGA’s commitment to forging collaborative relationships that drive shared value for all stakeholders.
PACT Capital Partners’ Managing Partner and Co-Founder, Christian von Schimmelmann, has extensive experience in the GP stakes industry, having previously spent nearly 25 years at Goldman Sachs. During his tenure at Goldman Sachs, von Schimmelmann served as Global Co-Head and Investment Committee Co-Chair of the GP Stakes and Seeding Business (Petershill). Under his leadership, Petershill raised over $10 billion of capital across several GP stakes funds, launched a seeding strategy, completed over 30 investments in private market firms, and created realizations through several creative and innovative transactions.
The partnership between PACT Capital Partners and RGA provides valuable exposure to a specialized asset class and aligns with RGA’s strategy to enhance its investment capabilities. RGA will continue to grow its strategic investment portfolio focused on asset management partners with unique sourcing and underwriting capabilities that complement RGA’s global investment platform.
Sackville Capital, another anchor investor, sees significant long-term potential in the GP stakes asset class and believes that backing experienced teams to create successful middle-market firms is a strategic priority. Sackville Capital plans to bring its strategic and operational experience, along with access to its international network, to support the success of its partnership with PACT Capital Partners.
PACT Capital Partners is well-positioned to deliver comprehensive services that extend beyond providing funding to middle-market firms. The firm’s industry experience, extensive network, and innovative imPACT platform will enable it to create a highly successful platform offering strategic capital solutions. With the support of RGA and Sackville Capital, PACT Capital Partners is poised to accelerate its development and strengthen its market position, paving the way for a productive long-term partnership.
