Topic:
Secondaries- Hydrating an Illiquid Market
Synopsis:
The secondaries market has grown into an exciting area with over $100 billion of volume per annum. It is becoming harder to ignore it, but sophisticated investors are asking the right questions, such as:
-
- Does secondaries belong in a private markets portfolio?
- Can secondary buyers really purchase assets at a discount to intrinsic value?
- Does the benefits of secondaries outweigh the costs (multiple layers of fees)?
- Can I execute secondary transactions in-house?
