Potential Sellers What are investors’ motivations for selling fund interests on the secondary market? alternative assets. intelligent data. Download the data pack: Preqin Special Report: Private Equity Secondary Market www.preqin.com/SMM15 Foreword The secondary market for fund interests has grown tremendously since the launch of Preqin’s Secondary Market Monitor online data and intelligence platform in 2009. That year, total secondaries volume was estimated at $12bn. In 2014, Cogent Partners estimated that secondaries volume for the year reached $42bn, representing more than three-fold growth over the fi ve-year period. Implicit in a bigger market is the increased participation of the limited partner universe. No longer a last resort for distressed investors seeking liquidity, the secondary market now serves as a viable tool for the active management of alternative asset portfolios. The nature of transactions being completed is becoming more sophisticated and innovative to fi t the needs of sellers; a key theme that has emerged more recently is the market’s viability as a solution for GPs and LPs seeking end of life solutions for funds, be that in the sale of interests in tail-end funds or more complex GP restructurings.

  • Secondary Private Equity Portfolio Transactions in Sweden During the Last 7 Years
    Stockholm School of Economics Master’s Thesis in Finance Niklas Rosencrantz [email protected] Yu Jiexing [email protected] October 2006 Sec on dary Private Equi ty P ort fol io Transactions in Sweden ABSTRACT We have researched secondary private equity portfolio transactions in Sweden during the last 7 years. We start by studying the structure and functioning of secondary private equity transactions in mainly Anglo-Saxon countries. We then report case studies and interviews covering the main secondary private equity portfolio transactions in Sweden during the last 7 years. The results of our research suggest that the secondary private equity portfolio market will evolve also in Sweden. However, the first dedicated secondary private equity portfolio manager in Sweden originates from Norway. Tutor: Prof Paolo Sodini Discussion: October 9, 10:15, Room 750 Acknowledgements We would like to express our gratitude to our tutor Prof Paolo Sodini for providing helpful assistance and important advice along the development of this study. We also feel much indebted to the interviewees who dedicated valuable time to help to convey to us their experience and opinions on this subject. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS.........................................................................................................2 1.

  • Liquidity in the Secondaries Private Equity Market
    Liquidity in the Secondaries Private Equity Market Anya Kleymenova, Eli Talmor and Florin P. Vasvari *, ** This draft: March 2012 Abstract We provide evidence on the determinants of liquidity of private equity (PE) fund interests sold in the secondaries PE market and assess the impact of liquidity on pricing. PE fund liquidity is captured by the number of bids, variation in bids, and excess demand for a fund interest, all measured using auction data provided by a large advisory firm. We document that a PE fund interest is more liquid if the fund is larger, has a buyout-focused strategy, less undrawn capital, has made fewer distributions and is managed by a manager whose funds were previously sold in the secondaries market. PE funds' liquidity improves if more non-traditional buyers, as opposed to dedicated secondary funds, provide bids and the overall market conditions are favourable. Finally, we document that our liquidity proxies are significantly and positively associated with the final bids at which the PE fund interests are sold, relative to the average market bids. Overall, our results indicate that important PE fund characteristics affect their marketability and that liquidity is priced in the winning secondaries PE market bids. * We acknowledge helpful comments from Yakov Amihud, Briac Houtteville, Nadira Huda, Brenlen Jinkens, Matthew Rhodes-Kropf (discussant), Michael Wright, participants of the 2011 Private Equity Findings Symposium at London Business School, SuperInvestor 2011 Paris Summit, South Africa Venture Capital and Private Equity Association Annual Meetings and The Alternative Investments Research Conference at London School of Economics.
