Cobepa extends its partnership with Gen II Fund Services

December 15, 2020 - New York, NY; Brussels, Belgium

Cobepa SA is pleased to announce it has extended its partnership with Gen II Fund Services ("Gen II" or "the company") and entered into a recapitalization of the company in conjunction with three new investors, General Atlantic, Hg and IHS Markit.

Founded in 2009, Gen II is a leading independent private capital fund administrator. With headquarters in New York, New York and Luxembourg and serving a global client base, the company administers over $375 billion of private capital on behalf of its clients across more than 500 funds and their 25,000 investors, spanning various investment strategies including Buyout, Infrastructure, Energy, Real Estate, Fund of Funds, Credit and Retail. Cobepa and Gen II's strategic partnership will continue going forward following the recapitalization which closed this month.

"Our partnership with Cobepa was designed to assist Gen II's expansion into new markets, particularly Europe, and new product areas. The Cobepa team was instrumental to the launch of our European platform and the acquisition of Quilvest Luxembourg Services in 2019. This was the result of a multi-year joint targeting exercise. Further expansion into Europe remains a significant growth opportunity for Gen II and our achievements to date in Europe would not have been possible without the strong and consistent support of the team at Cobepa. It has been a terrific relationship and we are very pleased it will continue following the recapitalization," said Gen II's founders, Steven Millner, Norman Leben and Steve Alecia.

"We are incredibly impressed with the accomplishments of the entire Gen II team, especially the co-founders who have led the company's geographic expansion and its development of innovative new data and analytics products. Throughout our project to assist their platform launch in Europe, we witnessed first-hand their steadfast focus on delivering premium services to their U.S. and international clients. This approach has led to industry leading performance and market share gains. We are grateful to the founders for their partnership over the last several years and for our continued strategic partnership going forward," said Peter Connolly, Managing Director, Cobepa North America.
