Bridgepoint Group plc today announces the completion of its transaction to add the team from Newbury, a leading mid-market secondaries investment firm, to the Group, following its announcement on 19 December 2025. With closing now complete, the business will operate as Newbury Bridgepoint, establishing Bridgepoint’s dedicated secondaries platform.
Founded in 2006, Newbury are specialists in mid-market liquidity solutions, with nearly two decades of track record across both LP-led and GP-led transactions. The team has raised over $6.5 billion across six dedicated funds and invested in more than 700 underlying private equity fund interests on behalf of over 250 LPs globally, returning more than $5 billion in distributions since inception.
The team brings established client relationships and nearly two decades of proprietary data and performance history from the secondaries market, further enhancing Bridgepoint’s analytical and investment capabilities.
At closing, Newbury Bridgepoint adds $4.3 billion of AUM to the Group. The team will manage Newbury’s most recent fund and act as sub-advisor to predecessor funds.
The addition of Newbury Bridgepoint further strengthens Bridgepoint Group’s strategy of building a globally scaled, diversified alternatives platform across private equity, infrastructure, credit and now secondaries.
Financial terms of the transaction remain undisclosed.
Raoul Hughes, Group Chief Executive of Bridgepoint, said:
“The launch of Newbury Bridgepoint establishes us in what was the fastest growing alternative asset class in 2025. Secondaries is an increasingly important part of the private markets ecosystem, and Newbury brings deep expertise, strong client relationships and nearly two decades of proprietary data and performance insight. Together, we have a compelling foundation from which to build a scaled secondaries platform within Bridgepoint. We are delighted to welcome Chris and the team to the Group.”
