Validus helps private capital managers identify, quantify and manage risk across funds, assets and transactions. We combine specialist advisory, execution expertise and purpose-built technology to support hedge program design, trade execution, reporting, liquidity visibility and ongoing risk management.
Validus helps clients manage currency risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty exposure and regulatory reporting risk. Our work spans fund-level exposures, asset-level exposures, transaction-driven hedging, portfolio overlays and operational risk controls.
Each private market sector carries a different risk profile. Private credit portfolios often require hedging aligned to drawdowns, repayments and floating-rate exposure. Private equity and secondaries require deal-by-deal analysis across currencies, timelines and exit scenarios. Real estate and infrastructure often involve longer-dated cash flows, financing structures and sector-specific exposure patterns. Validus tailors each program to the economics, structure and objectives of the portfolio.
Yes. Validus supports both fund-level and asset-level hedging. At the fund level, we help managers quantify exposures, design hedge programs and manage ongoing risk across portfolios. At the asset level, we support transaction-specific hedging, deal economics, financing exposure and cash flow alignment.
Validus helps secondaries managers look beyond headline fund exposure to understand the underlying currency, rate and liquidity risks across assets, portfolios and transaction structures. We apply quantitative analysis to support dynamic hedge programs designed to protect returns and manage risk through acquisition, ownership and exit.
Validus helps LPs aggregate and understand exposures across managers, funds and multi-currency vehicles. We provide a clearer view of portfolio-level FX, rate and market risk, and design overlay strategies that align with institutional objectives, governance requirements and liquidity considerations.
Yes. Validus works with corporates that need specialist support managing FX, interest rate and market risk. We help treasury and finance teams assess exposures, structure hedging strategies, execute trades and improve visibility across risk, liquidity and reporting.
