Akin Advises Pantheon as Lead Investor on €250 Million Sustainability Focused Continuation Vehicle Managed by Alder
Contact:
(London) – Akin advised Pantheon, a leading global private markets investor, on its role as lead investor in the €250 million closing of an Article 9 sustainability‑focused continuation vehicle managed by Nordic private equity firm Alder.
The continuation vehicle, Alder Strategic Opportunities Fund I, was established to support the next phase of ownership and value creation for Sustainable Intelligence and Safe Monitoring Group, two high‑quality portfolio companies transferred from Alder’s second flagship fund. The transaction provided liquidity options to existing investors while extending Alder’s ownership horizon in assets benefiting from long‑term regulatory and sustainability‑driven tailwinds. The transaction reflects the continued evolution and institutionalization of the GP‑led secondaries market.
The Akin team advising Pantheon was led by investment management partner and member of Akin’s market-leading secondaries team Qasam Mahmood and included counsel Raquel Gordon and associate Matthew Allan.
The wider Akin team brought together cross‑practice capabilities and reflected the firm’s integrated approach to complex, cross-border continuation fund transactions: tax partner Stuart Alter and associate Patrick Pallisco; corporate partner Timothy Clark; and antitrust and international competition partner Davina Garrod and associates Tommi Lahtinen and Isabella Egetenmeir.
