Secondary investment opportunities and solutions
Why investors consider secondary investments
Secondary investment markets provide access to more mature opportunities in private markets, adding liquidity to a traditionally illiquid asset class. Secondary investments can provide an additional source of risk-adjusted returns, allowing you to invest more directly in underlying companies and expanding exposure to specific sectors or geographies.
In addition to risk-adjusted returns, secondary investments offer the potential for greater diversification, specificity and control over assets and exposures.
We can help you build secondary portfolios with a variety of strategies. These can include single and multi-asset general partner (GP) led deals, traditional limited partner (LP) led transactions, portfolio or structured deals, secondary directs and other niche opportunities. Below we outline four of the most common potential benefits.
