Former Mercer, NEPC Director Launches Private Capital Consultancy

The management consulting firm Pendlebury Hall Advisors LLC announced its launch Thursday, with plans to provide consulting and advisory services to private capital strategy clients.

The Seattle-based firm was founded by Troy Saharic, previously a senior director at NEPC and a veteran of 26 years at Mercer.

“Public companies have long been the bedrock and growth engine for the global economy, enabling great wealth accumulation for both stakeholders and investors,” said Saharic, who serves as the new company’s CEO, in the announcement. “While we expect investments in the public markets to continue to be a foundational aspect of investing, we are in the middle of significant change where private market investing has become mainstream.”

The firm was formed to respond to the growing interest in private assets managed by midsized, small and emerging managers and will offer consulting services across marketplace intelligence, distribution and capital raising, according to the firm’s website.

“Private market transactions have always dominated economic activity, but the opportunity set for astute institutional as well as private wealth investors has never been greater,” Saharic continued. “Private market strategies will continue to represent a growing portion of their investments.”
