Paul Chappell

Head of Secondaries

Paul joined Acanthus in 2020 and brings over 14 years’ of combined private equity and financial markets experience, primarily in an intermediary capacity.

Paul founded and leads our Secondaries division, where we facilitate tailored liquidity solutions on behalf of GPs and LPs alike and is responsible for sourcing, evaluating and executing transactions alongside the wider team. He prides himself on his process led approach and strong network of LP relationships, often unearthing pockets of capital that may otherwise be overlooked.
