Glouston We Have A Solution

Flexstone expands into a full private markets platform with Glouston acquisition, combining primaries, co-investments and secondaries into a $15bn+ manager.

Flexstone Partners is launching into a new era. The firm’s acquisition of Glouston Capital Partners brings two complementary strengths together to form a more complete private markets platform. By combining Flexstone’s primary and co-investment expertise with Glouston’s established secondaries franchise, the deal creates a diversified, scaled manager with enhanced coverage across the private equity lifecycle and approximately $15 billion in assets. Supported by Natixis Investment Managers, the enlarged platform deepens Flexstone’s North American and global footprint while preserving investment continuity, with Glouston’s team taking on leadership roles and rolling equity into the combined business. “Flexstone Partners is delighted to welcome the experienced Glouston Capital Partners team as we embark on this new phase of growth,” said said Flexstone’s CEO and Managing Partner, Eric Deram. The deal signals an Apollo-style “we’ve got this” moment that turns complementary capabilities into a unified, growth-oriented solution for institutional investors seeking breadth, depth, and execution across private markets.
