The Extraordinary Power of Experience
Lexington’s history begins at the forefront of its industry
In 1990, Lexington helped pioneer the development of the institutional secondary market, and in 1998, created one of the first discretionary co-investment programs.
Today, Lexington Partners stands as one of the world’s largest and most sought-after managers of secondary and co-investment private equity funds.
Amid the industry’s changing landscape, Lexington holds steadfast to our founding principles: leadership in our core strategies, a consistent, time-tested market approach, and an unwavering dedication to devising new solutions that uphold the time-honed standards defining our legacy of excellence. Our firm’s considerable growth over the past three decades supports the value of our consistent approach.

Lexington is a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and acts as a good steward of investors’ capital by collaborating with our diverse portfolio of sponsors regarding ESG best practices.
