It will be headed by Paul Van Hook, who has been working at PFG since 2008.
Credit Suisse Asset Management co-head of PFG Kevin Naughton said: “Since its inception, Credit Suisse’s Private Fund Group has sought to provide Limited Partners and General Partners with a diversified set of private placement services and secondary solutions.
“Direct investing has become an increasingly significant part of investors’ approach, as they seek direct access to assets and portfolios to enhance returns and complement their existing investment strategies.”
The bank also appointed Imran Hameed from New York-based private equity placement firm Mercury Capital Advisors as a director for the new team.
