The panel values advisory models that align strategy, control and outcomes, particularly in private markets where liquidity is uneven and execution risk can be material. Jasmin Capital's case was persuasive because its strategy is focused on parts of the European secondaries market that can be underserved by larger platforms.
Founded in 2011, Jasmin Capital is an independent Private Market Advisor specialising in three core activities: Fund Placement, Secondary Transactions Advisory and Strategic Advisory. Since its inception, Jasmin Capital has advised more than 50 private market fundraisings (Private Equity, Private Debt and Infrastructure) and advises 15 to 20 secondary transactions per year.
As highlighted to the panel, Jasmin Capital brings senior-level, specialist attention to smaller and more complex mandates, including LP-led transactions ranging from a few million in NAV to several hundred million. This positioning requires strong client education, disciplined pricing, and close, hands-on management through to transfer.
Execution examples support the panel's view. The firm works with LPs undertaking a secondary sale for the first time, staying involved until fund interests are transferred. On the GP-led side, its alliance with Edmond de Rothschild Corporate Finance combines secondary-market expertise with M&A judgement for continuation funds and alternative exit routes.
Jasmin Capital's discipline appears relevant in a market where capital is available, but lower-quality assets may fail to transact. Its emphasis on mandate selection, transparency and execution certainty provides a credible basis for recognition. The Capital Finance International (CFI.co) Judging Panel congratulates Jasmin Capital on winning the Excellence in Private Markets Secondary Advisory 2026 Award (Europe).
