PREVIOUS COVERAGE
Increasingly recognised as an established asset class, GP stakes investing is now firmly on the agenda, having been embraced by just under a quarter of LPs. But challenges remain for this maturing segment, as fundraising and liquidity pressures prompt some LPs to ask difficult questions about exits – which, after all, raises another issue: can GP stakes firms really deliver on their promises of value creation?
The GP stakes market is expanding. For many years, the number of participants in this niche corner of the market could be counted on two hands; now, as the strategy has had enough time to prove itself a viable one, it is seeing increased appetites from LPs and potential investment targets alike. In this special report, we take a look at how new entrants to the market can stake their claim; how the strategy is merging with private wealth, secondaries and more; and why LPs in particular are starting to show more interest.
