StrategyLP-led fund stakes and structured secondaries, European mid-market focus

ScaleMulti-billion-dollar secondaries platform within PGIM

montana capital partners was founded in Zug, Switzerland in 2011, building a secondaries and asset-management-solutions business with a particular focus on the European mid-market — smaller, less-picked-over LP portfolios and structured liquidity deals.

PGIM, the roughly $1.5 trillion global investment arm of Prudential Financial, acquired montana capital partners in a deal that closed in the third quarter of 2021, bringing the firm into PGIM's multi-manager alternatives structure.

In 2023, PGIM brought montana capital partners together with its other private-markets capabilities — private credit, real estate equity and debt, private equity, infrastructure, and agriculture — under a unified PGIM Private Alternatives umbrella, giving the secondaries team access to a much larger institutional distribution base.

Worth knowing

Deliberately keeps a lower-case brand name ("montana capital partners") even after being folded into a trillion-dollar-scale parent.
