Stafford Capital Partners Rises in Global Secondaries Manager Rankings for 2025

Stafford Capital Partners Rises in Global Secondaries Manager Rankings for 2025

Press Release - Stafford Capital Partners is proud to be ranked 26th in the Private Equity International/Secondaries Investor 2025 Top 50 secondaries managers list, climbing three places from last year. While many of the top-ranked firms in the list are primarily focused on private equity secondaries, Stafford’s rise reflects its differentiated strength in real asset secondaries, including infrastructure, timberland, and agriculture – where it continues to rank among the global leaders. This recognition demonstrates Stafford’s strong momentum, continued growth and fundraising success across its real asset strategies in the global secondaries market.
