An investment firm specialized
in the secondary market

Committed Advisors is a global asset management firm specialized in the secondary market providing solutions to investors seeking liquidity for their private equity assets.

In 2026, its activities are expected to generate around €70 million in management fees and around €45 million in pre‑tax Fee Related Earnings (FRE). Committed Advisors’ team of 55 professionals, including the four founding partners, focuses on mid‑market secondary transactions ranging from €20 to €200 million. Committed Advisors Secondary Funds (“CASF”) represent Committed Advisors’ long‑established core strategy, accounting for more than 90% of total assets under management. This secondary strategy is designed to build highly diversified portfolios across industry sectors and across geographies (North America: 51%, Europe: 36%, Asia and rest of the world: 13%). Since inception, Committed Advisors’ funds have delivered consistent performance, generating a gross IRR of 19%.

Key milestones of the investment

Committed Advisors, a highly regarded company operating in the secondary market with an excellent track record, is a perfect match with our third-party private asset management platform by adding a new asset class, alongside highly talented teams in private equity (IK Partners) and private debt (Monroe Capital). With near €50 billion in assets under management, Wendel is gradually establishing itself as a leading player in the mid-market.

Wendel Investment Managers to reach
a key milestone with the acquisition
of Committed Advisors

Following the completed acquisition of IK Partners, Monroe Capital, and Committed Advisors, the Wendel Investment Managers (“WIM”) private asset management platform manages near €50 billion in assets and should generate fee‑related earnings (FRE) in excess of €200 million in 2026 (on a pro forma basis) across private equity, private debt and private market solutions, supported by teams with a strong track record as investment managers and a highly diversified institutional investor base (LPs). WIM benefits from strong recurring revenues and boasts significant growth potential, with an average organic FRE growth target of 15% per year through to 2030. In addition, Wendel Investment Managers will benefit over time from its participation in the performance generated by the managed funds in the form of performance‑related earnings (PRE), which are expected to represent around €300 million for each of the future fundraising vintages.

Wendel has created a unique private asset investment ecosystem in North America and Europe, combining two complementary sources of value creation: the strong recurring cash flow generated by private asset management for third parties, and the potential capital gains realizable on principal investments. This ecosystem is supported by an optimized operating model, a lean team and a robust financial structure.
