The booming Private Equity Secondaries market brings many issues with it:
- LPs: should you be a seller? a buyer? how can you get an indication of the potential current value of your private equity portfolio without showing your hand? how can you hear about potential opportunities to acquire further interests in funds you are already in?
- GPs: which of your LPs are potential sellers? which might be interested in secondary purchases?
- Secondary Buyers: how can you get early warning of which LPs might be interested in selling? how do you get access to the best potential deal flow?
- Advisors: how should you be advising your current private equity clients? how can you find new mandates from potential sellers?
