With Sunil Mishra, Partner, Primary Investments, Adams Street Partners
Hemal Mirani, Managing Director, HarbourVest Partners
As exit timelines for private equity portfolios in Asia stretch longer particularly in the post-COVID context, the region is fast turning into a play for patient capital and longer-tenure investments. In this panel, we will explore themes such as portfolio adjustments, valuation trends, rebalancing and weighing of short and long-term risks of exposure to the region, under-invested sectors and overhang of tech deals.
We feature Adams Street Partners’s Sunil Mishra who specialises in fund selection, due diligence, negotiations, and monitoring of Asian investments ex-China, specifically in India, Australia, Japan, Southeast Asia, and Korea. He sits on advisory boards of more than a dozen private equity firms within the Adams Street Partners portfolio. Adams Street manages $45 billion of assets across our primary, secondary, growth equity, credit, and co-investment strategies.

HarbourVest recently announced the opening of its office in Singapore, expanding its footprint to 11 locations worldwide.
