LPs are taking an increasingly proactive approach to the secondaries market, while CVs will represent 10-20% of PE exits, managing partner Yann Robard said at NEXUS 2026.

While Apollo S3 is open to making acquisitions, it is likely to continue to build its secondaries platform via organic growth, co-head Steve Lessar said at PEI’s NEXUS conference.

Secondaries buyers’ own specialisation is aiding in GPs’ interest to consider a CV in tandem with other exit options, Moelis & Co managing director Jeff Hammer said at NEXUS 2026.

Speaking on the sidelines of PEI Group’s NEXUS conference, Neal Costello, co-head of New Mountain Atlas, discusses how the PE firm will seek to differentiate itself and why he made the jump to the buyout firm.

Secondaries Investor congratulated the winners of our Americas Awards at an invite-only dinner held at PEI’s NEXUS conference last week, supported by Kirkland & Ellis and StepStone.

The appointment follows the departure of former managing director and head of Evercore’s Asia-Pacific private capital advisory team Shane Gong, who left in January 2025.

A replacement for global head of the PCA group, which will continue to operate as usual, has not been named, Secondaries Investor understands.

Blue Owl is building out its relatively new secondaries unit, aiming to be a market leader in the GP-led space.

The firm is continuing the expansion of its private funds group as demand for secondaries grows.

The firm has also made further leadership promotions and created two regional operating committees to ‘further strengthen local leadership’, according to a memo seen by Secondaries Investor.
