NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Second Alpha Partners (http://www.secondalpha.com), a private equity firm focused on secondary investments in mature venture-stage, growth equity and middle market tech companies, has been named a winner at the 2014 Wealth & Finance Alternative Investment Awards, recognized as the Best in Secondary Investments, USA.
"We're very appreciative both to Wealth & Finance International and those in the industry who nominated us," said Richard Brekka, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Second Alpha. "We would ascribe winning this award to three general characteristics. First, the innovative nature of Second Alpha's approach to secondary market investing. Second, the quality of the interactions that we've had with all different stakeholders involved in the many transactions on which we've worked over the last twelve months… And third, we would be remiss if we overlooked the hard work and support of the entire Second Alpha team, operating partners, strategic advisors and limited partners."
Having recently made investments with very attractive terms in several well-respected companies and closed its second fund, Second Alpha is actively seeking new investments. Jim Sanger, Managing Partner and Co-Founder, commented, "we intend to make sure Second Alpha is there to provide the liquidity solutions needed to meet the needs of a new, wider array of stakeholders in the next wave of high-growth companies."
Award winners were determined on merit using a combination of votes gathered from Wealth & Finance's network of industry partners and the magazine's own in-house research.
