PPB in the News: PPB Capital Partners Seeks Secondaries and Sports-Focused Funds

November 10, 2025

Expanding Access to Niche and Evergreen Private Equity Opportunities

In an interview with With Intelligence, Evan Deussing outlines how the firm is setting its sights on secondaries and sports-focused private equity funds as part of a broader strategy to diversify its portfolio. The firm is prioritizing evergreen structures, while remaining open to drawdown and interval funds when the strategy calls for it, emphasizing the importance of aligning the investment approach with the appropriate fund structure.

While the core focus remains the U.S., select global strategies are being considered where they complement the investment thesis and add value. The shift toward evergreen funds is driven by growing client demand for shorter-duration alternatives and increased access to managers, even as drawdown funds continue to serve a role in core allocations and niche satellite strategies.

Beyond these areas, the firm is also exploring emerging sectors like digital assets and other hard-to-access niche strategies, balancing the inclusion of boutique managers with well-established firms. The approach is designed to expand the platform thoughtfully, providing access to both seasoned and emerging managers while ensuring that each fund fits strategically within the broader portfolio.
