Ridgepost’s Chairman and CEO, Luke Sarsfield, is featured on @PEWireNews’ latest Alternative Views podcast with host Jack Arrowsmith to discuss how allocators are rethinking private markets exposure in a more uncertain environment.
In the conversation, Luke explains why sophisticated LPs are increasingly looking for platform partners that can provide exposure across strategies, rather than managing long rosters of niche managers. He shares Ridgepost’s view that the middle and lower-middle market remains compelling because it offers a broader universe of companies and less concentrated capital, while its more opaque and relationship-driven nature makes proprietary data, institutional knowledge, and cross-platform insight critical to sourcing and underwriting quality opportunities. Luke also discusses how these dynamics are playing out across the U.S. and Europe, where the middle market continues to mature and local expertise remains especially important.

Today, we announced our first quarter 2026 earnings results.
“Ridgepost Capital delivered record fundraising levels to start 2026,” said Luke Sarsfield, Ridgepost Capital Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Fee-paying assets under management stood at approximately $31 billion at quarter-end, surpassing $30 billion for the first time and representing 18% year-over-year growth. Growth in the first quarter was driven by nearly $2 billion of gross capital raised and deployed, in line with our expectations and demonstrating the growing demand for alternatives. This strong start to the year and the progress we’ve made on the vision outlined at our Investor Day underscores the strength of our differentiated private markets platform, with a unique focus on the middle and lower-middle markets and a diverse and durable LP base.”

Ridgepost’s Chairman and CEO, Luke Sarsfield, featured on @iimag's In Conversation Podcast with host @julie_segal to discuss what’s actually changing in private markets and what isn’t.
In the conversation, Luke shares Ridgepost’s perspective on why the middle and lower middle market remains a more durable area of focus, with a broader universe of companies and less concentrated capital. He explains how this leads to a different competitive dynamic, where sourcing, relationships, and selectivity play a more central role in driving investment outcomes. He also highlights how operating across asset classes reinforces that advantage, with insights and access compounding over time to strengthen the platform’s ability to originate and underwrite opportunities.

Ridgepost’s Chairman and CEO, Luke Sarsfield, joined Jonathan Braudeon the PE in a Pod Podcast to discuss how the firm is finding opportunities in today’s complex macroeconomic backdrop.
Luke explains that periods of uncertainty often create compelling entry points, with dislocations driving activity in areas like secondaries and credit as some investors seek liquidity or reduce risk exposure. In this environment, disciplined investors can capitalize on pockets of mispricing, particularly in the less intermediated middle and lower middle market.

Ridgepost’s Chairman and CEO, Luke Sarsfield, connected with @SPGlobal to discuss why retail investors are turning to private markets to diversify their portfolios.
Luke explains that public markets represent a shrinking share of the economy, making it harder to capture broad U.S. growth through stocks and bonds alone as more companies stay private. As a result, exposure to alternatives is becoming increasingly important, especially as many innovation-driven sectors like AI, energy, and space remain largely private.

Ridgepost’s Chairman and CEO, Luke Sarsfield, recently joined the “Unlocking Alpha in the Middle Market” panel alongside Michael Chiulli, Brad Bernstein, and Erol Uzumeri at @SuperReturn North America.
The conversation focused on how managers are differentiating themselves in an increasingly competitive mid-market, including sourcing high-quality investments, navigating a more complex exit environment, and identifying which corners of the market offer opportunities to deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns.
Luke explained how Ridgepost’s data advantage and integrated platform enable a thematic approach to investing within the lower-middle market, where experienced managers can capitalize on inefficiencies to drive outsized value.
Thank you to SuperReturn for hosting Luke for this thoughtful conversation.
