Founded in 2009, Accretive Exit Capital Advisors (AECA) is a Private Equity Advisory & Intermediary business that focuses on the secondary and structured financing of Private Equity portfolios. With $1.4b under advisory AECA has grown rapidly to become one of the more prominent players in this nascent market. We have established ourselves by leveraging our relationships with Secondary Funds, Pensions Funds, and large institutional investors. We leverage these relationships and our secondary structured deal experience to find best match and structured transaction for PE investors who are distressed or need to adjust their exposure. We find best buyers for specific LP interests, find funding partners for those who are unable to meet capital calls, and liquidate entire portfolios to multiple buyers (and beat average secondary pricing in the market by 17% currently).

The keys to working towards a successful transaction with AECA are: 1. Establishing a strong aligned interest with the client; 2. Identifying assets that need to be funded, liquidated, re-structured; 3. Designing a structure and/or price expectation level that is achievable in the market and meets expectations of the client and their stakeholders or partners.

Accretive Exit Capital Advisors adheres to the following set of parameters in order to engage with clients:

• Portfolio Assets of $75,000,000 (USD) or greater
  • Limited Partnership interests in well-known solid performing funds
  • Co-investments alongside high quality sponsors
• A realistic expectation of pricing and value of the assets
  • Sophisticated clients who understand incoming investors expectations

Limited Partnership interests in well known solid performing funds Co-investments alongside high quality sponsors A realistic expectation of pricing and value of the assets Sophisticated clients who understand incoming investors' expectations Accretive aims to serve each client's specific needs. We have engaged in the full liquidation of portfolios in excess of $500,000,000 (USD). Engineered structured transactions of portfolios of clients who needed full funding of over $170,000,000 of unfunded commitments in a large portfolio, and brought parties together to share the funding of capital calls through a complicated structure which included an intricate waterfall distribution schedule for each participant.

Our fees vary per engagement but typically include a reasonable management fee based on NAV of assets and a performance-based fee and bonus schedule that keep AECA perfectly aligned with its client. In most cases the higher the value we achieve for the client the higher our fee. If we don't achieve a certain hurdle price for assets we don't achieve fee or bonus. We believe this type of relationship is best maintained when both parties have perfectly aligned interest in achieving the best possible solution, price, or distribution schedule for their assets.
