Company

Cattegatt was founded 2010 in London to match secondary interests between buyers and sellers and work with General Partners to raise primary capital, which have been the sole missions ever since with no other product or services causing potential conflicts of interest.

The company was one of the pioneers for intermediating hedge fund side pockets and became one of the leading and most active brokers in that market. Cattegatt has since expanded and is today active across the illiquid alternative funds spectrum bringing subject matter and track record to the table.
