Exit volumes will move assets’ cashflows forward allowing secondaries buyers to offer higher prices, which in turn should pull sellers into the market, Blackstone’s global head of Strategic Partners said at Nexus 2026.

Over half of GPs said the primary reason for launching a CV was to return capital to existing LPs, according to Bain’s latest report.

In this edition of Secondaries Investor’s Second Thoughts podcast, Evercore’s global head of private capital advisory Nigel Dawn discusses the outlook for activity in 2026 and the key trends shaping the capitalisation of the market over the longer term.

We’ll hear the latest on the market’s innovation, capitalisation, tailwinds and headwinds at PEI Group’s Nexus 2026.

The deal sees a portfolio of private equity interests move into a new vehicle run by M&G.

The vehicle, named Andantino AV, has some CV components and houses Vitruvian’s ownership in four assets, Secondaries Investor understands.

The pension has been actively pursuing opportunities in the secondaries market over the past few years.

The deal marks the latest $1bn-plus CV the Luxembourg-headquartered firm has been involved in over the last several months.

Holding on to laggard assets may conflict with the core objective of PE: maximising time-weighted returns for LPs, writes Adam Spence, of Partners Capital.

Spanish manager Alantra has closed a continuation vehicle for its portfolio company Health in Code, with 25% of the capital earmarked for follow on investment.
