Fundraising

Our inaugural survey takes the temperature of LP, GP, buyer and provider attitudes towards this fast-growing market.

A distribution desert has led to a surge in first-time LP sellers, while a challenged fundraising market has heralded the return of the primary staple.

Secondaries Investor’s inaugural survey of LPs, secondaries buyers, GPs and advisers offers a complete view of the market and the direction it’s heading in. Conducted in partnership with Goodwin.

The programme is over 60% committed, with the PE secondaries unit having invested more than $4bn globally last year, Secondaries Investor has learned.

Secondaries Investor will launch its inaugural Global Market Survey next week. While there’s agreement on the market’s future growth, there are diverging views on alignment.

The structured solutions specialist has closed Dawson GP Finance 2 on its $750m hard-cap, surpassing its $500m target.

Managers who double down on the region and serve investors’ needs will stand better chances of harvesting success.

RGCM Fund I will have the flexibility to invest in both direct secondaries and primary funding rounds.

The two managers have teamed up to target $1bn for a fund that will focus on growth equity and late-stage venture capital investments, Secondaries Investor has learned.

The platform will focus on opportunities in the US and Europe, with future growth contingent upon its track record.
