First Annual Secondaries Outlook
The secondary market began in the 1980s as a method to provide liquidity to investors in illiquid private equity, and other pools of alternative assets. Secondary funds build exposure to illiquid portfolios by acquiring existing positions in single funds or a portfolio of funds from limited partners (“LPs”) seeking early liquidity often at a discount to recent valuations. Investors use these funds to rapidly build up exposure to diversified, seasoned positions in private equity, and other alternatives while, potentially, with shorter duration and lower correlation to investors’ existing portfolios.
