Riding the secondary market growth curve

As general partners (GPs) look to听alternative liquidity solutions in the secondary market to monetize their investments,听what are the key trends that drove a surge in GP-led transaction activity in the first half of 2024?

斗牛棋牌在线 surveyed secondary investors and analyzed transaction data to further explore these trends.

GP-led transaction volume

Note: Darker shades denotes 斗牛棋牌在线 2H 2024 projections

The GP-led secondary market exhibited continued strength in 1H 2024, achieving ~45% of 斗牛棋牌在线's projected GP-led volume for the full year.

斗牛棋牌在线 projects GP-led volume for the full-year to reach approximately $65 billion, driven by a more active 2H 2024.

Surge of activity

Macroeconomic headwinds and high interest rates continue to dampen private equity exit activity, driving GPs to utilize alternative liquidity solutions as a means of monetizing their investments and delivering DPI to underlying limited partners (LPs)
Similar to years past, 2H 2024 deal volume is expected to outpace 1H 2024 volume as GPs seek to close recently-launched transactions before year-end

Notable pricing improvements

Pricing improved across both single and multi-asset transactions in 1H 2024, with single asset transactions pricing in the mid-90s on average and multi-asset transactions in the high 80s
斗牛棋牌在线 survey respondents observed several deals pricing at par or a premium, two themes that were less common in 2023

Emerging pools of capital

Primary-oriented LPs are increasingly developing in-house capabilities to evaluate GP-led transactions
Retail channels and other non-dedicated pools of capital are allocating to GP-led opportunities, with several secondary investors establishing '40 Act funds
More multi-strategy asset managers have formed GP-led investment teams to focus on single asset deals where they can leverage their direct investment capabilities
