Harvard University is in talks to sell around $1 billion in private equity fund interests with the help of Jefferies Financial Group to Lexington Partners. The sale is part of Harvard’s strategy to improve liquidity in response to market volatility and difficulties in divesting companies. This decision comes after Harvard’s recent move to secure $750 million in Wall Street financing as a proactive step. The prestigious university’s efforts to optimize its financial position reflect a cautious approach to navigate the current economic uncertainties.
