Schroder’s private equity arm appoints head of secondaries

Schroder Adveq, an asset manager investing in private equity globally, has announced the appointment of Christiaan van der Kam to the role of Head of Secondaries.

Mr van der Kam will be joining Schroder Adveq from Unigestion, where he was Co-Head of Secondaries and instrumental in building their secondaries platform. Starting on 1 September, he brings over two decades of experience in global secondary markets with Unigestion, New Amsterdam Capital and ATP Private Equity Partners.

Earlier this year, Schroder Adveq also appointed David Guryn as Senior Investment Director for its secondaries practice in New York. Mr Guryn joined from Evercore, a leading advisor for secondary transactions. He has over 13 years of secondaries market experience, from both the buy and sell side.

Rainer Ender, Head of Schroder Adveq, commented: “The strengthened secondaries team under the leadership of Christiaan van der Kam is an important element of Schroder Adveq’s global investment practice. Schroder Adveq applies a ’one investment team’ philosophy across all transaction types, including primaries, secondaries and co-investments.”
