The private equity secondary market is experiencing a surge in activity, with global volumes projected to reach $200bn in 2025. Traditionally used by distressed sellers, secondaries have evolved into a strategic tool for institutional portfolios—offering liquidity, diversification and value.
In a high-rate environment with slower exits and extended holding periods, many limited partners are turning to secondary sales to rebalance allocations. For buyers, this can create a favourable pricing environment and wider access to mature portfolios—often at significant discounts.
For those seeking timely exposure to private markets, secondaries may present an attractive entry point. Specialist managers with access to high-quality deal flow are especially well-positioned to take advantage.
