Secondaries

The secondaries timberland fund has closed just above its target and was launched at the start of 2023.

This is Moelis’s second hire from Jefferies this year – it has already employed Matthew Wesley to head up its private funds advisory capabilities.

In this 10-minute video, the founders of Coller Capital and Dawson Partners discuss their predictions for annual deal volume by 2030 and how LP-GP alignment could be affected.

GP-led secondaries had a strong 2024, setting new records in some areas. With ample dry powder and rising demand, 2025 looks promising. But will fundraising challenges and regulatory uncertainties dampen growth?

Four out of NYCRS’ five pension systems are selling a more than $5.5bn portfolio to Blackstone Strategic Partners in a deal set to close at the end of March.

LPs and GPs alike are finding secondaries technology ‘extremely beneficial’, Holcombe Green said at PEI Group’s NEXUS 2025 conference in Orlando this week.

The risk mitigation benefit ‘is an overlooked facet of what is attractive on some of these continuation vehicles’, head of investment strategy Drew Schardt tells Secondaries Investor.

GPs are looking to hold on to their prized assets for longer than ever, but repeated continuation vehicles are bound to invite questions from existing and prospective investors.

The European mid-market firm, which has £11bn in AUM, is looking to move four UK-based assets into a new vehicle, Secondaries Investor understands.

As traditional private equity houses enter the secondaries market en masse, more GPs are building up their capabilities to run ‘DIY’ continuation vehicle processes in-house.
