A Pantheon-led investor group has acquired SI and SMG from Alder II through Alder Strategic Opportunity Fund I, in a secondary transaction designed to provide liquidity while supporting continued growth.

The deal sees Pantheon partnering with institutional investors including LGT Capital Partners, Arcano, and Adams Street, highlighting ongoing demand for structured secondary solutions in private equity.

This continuation strategy will allow the assets to transition into a new long-term ownership structure while maintaining Alder’s active involvement through ASOF I.

During its ownership period, Alder II oversaw significant value creation across SI and SMG, including more than 25 acquisitions and strong organic growth, positioning both companies as established players with resilient business models and cash flows.

“This transaction demonstrates how Pantheon leverages its long-standing experience in private equity secondaries to structure tailored solutions that provide liquidity to existing investors while supporting the continued growth of leading European assets,” Morten Lundin, Managing Director at Pantheon, said in a company statement.

The companies will retain their existing management teams, ensuring continuity as they enter the next phase of development under the new ownership structure.
