Seine Capital, a private equity firm founded by former Mantra Investment Partners head of secondaries Fabrice Moyne, has announced the final close of its inaugural fund, Seine Capital Liquidity Solutions, at $180 million. The fund exceeded its original fundraising target of $150 million and closed oversubscribed, highlighting strong investor demand for specialized secondary market opportunities.
The debut vehicle is focused on lower-market secondaries transactions, a segment of the private equity market that has attracted growing attention as investors seek liquidity solutions and portfolio management tools amid a changing investment environment. By concentrating on smaller and often less competitive transactions, Seine Capital aims to capitalize on opportunities that may be overlooked by larger secondary market participants.
The successful fundraising marks a significant milestone for the firm and provides it with substantial capital to execute its investment strategy. The oversubscribed close reflects investor confidence in the firm’s leadership, market expertise, and ability to source and structure attractive secondary transactions.
Fabrice Moyne founded Seine Capital after building extensive experience in the secondary investments market, including his previous role leading secondaries activities at Mantra Investment Partners. The firm’s strategy is designed to provide liquidity solutions to investors while targeting attractive risk-adjusted returns through acquisitions of private market interests in the lower middle market.
With $180 million in commitments, Seine Capital is positioned to pursue a broad range of lower-market secondary opportunities and establish its presence in the increasingly active private capital secondaries landscape. The fund’s close underscores continued investor appetite for niche secondary strategies that can provide diversification, liquidity, and access to private market assets.
