Private equity secondaries is one of the fastest-growing strategies in private equity with a market volume increasing eight-fold over the past decade. The market provides liquidity to private equity investors, allowing them to sell existing positions in private equity funds. Private equity secondary investors also support general partners in restructuring private equity funds, providing liquidity to existing investors, and creating further value from portfolio companies.
