Petershill’s 2025 Exit Parade
The Harvest sale is part of a broader narrative—Petershill’s 2025 fire-sale strategy—which has seen it unload stakes in multiple high-profile investment firms. To date this year, the firm has raised approximately $1.86 billion from asset sales, a striking 34% premium over their collective book value of $1.39 billion.
Among the highlights:
-
In January 2025, Petershill divested the bulk of its holding in U.S. venture powerhouse General Catalyst for $726 million.
-
In November, it partially exited its position in Accel-KKR, a technology-focused firm, for $282 million.
-
In September, it fully cashed out of LMR Partners, an investment manager, in a deal valued up to $258 million.
These exits, including the current Petershill US PE Stake $561M move, reflect a deliberate portfolio recalibration—one that prioritizes liquidity, returns, and agility over passive ownership.
