ACE & Company launches ACE Private Equity, unifying independent sponsor and secondaries capabilities

7/15/2026

Two segments form the mandate behind ACE Private Equity: the fragmented lower middle-market and LP-led secondary opportunities.

ACE & Company, based in New York and Geneva, launched the dedicated business on July 15, 2026, consolidating its Independent Sponsors and Secondaries operations into a single platform the firm positions as a bet on overlooked pockets of private markets.

What the platform combines ACE Private Equity draws together two operations the firm previously ran as separate lines.

| Business line | Focus | |---|---| | Independent Sponsors | Fragmented lower middle-market | | Secondaries | LP-led opportunities | One dedicated structure now covers both.
