The prediction is that the secondaries market is going to be $200, $300 or even up to $500 billion in some estimates in the next 5 to 10 years. Any big market needs a secondary market to function properly, and private equity is no different. What was once considered a tool for groups who are liquidity constrained, secondaries are now used by groups to actively manage their portfolio.

Key takeaways:

The secondaries market has evolved in tandem with, and in support of the private equity market. Find out:

  • What has driven the growth of secondaries and the potential for significantly more going forward
  • How secondaries are being used to actively manage portfolios
  • How cyclical the PE industry is and if returns are possible on both sides of the cycle
  • Not all NAV is created equal
  • Where the top 9 or 10 players in the market will be in the next 3-5 years
