HighVista has launched its GP-led secondaries strategy earlier this year as an extension of the firm's lower middle market private equity investing platform. The strategy is led by managing director and head of private equity secondaries Raudel Yanez.

High Vista Strategies has hired Ramit Malhotra as a principal on its New York-based GP-led secondaries team. Malhotra joins HighVista from CPP Investments where he was a principal on the private equity secondaries team.

Earlier in his career, he was a vice president at Spring Bridge Partners. The appointment strengthens HighVista's growing secondaries capability in the lower middle market segment, reflecting the firm's commitment to expanding its GP-led secondaries offering.
