LP-led deals accounted for $40bn of the $68bn of global secondaries volume seen in H1 2024 as bid-ask spreads narrowed.

Funds collected $408.6bn during H1 2024, up from $374.6bn for the same period last year, according to PEI data.

The firm hopes to surpass the size of its previous secondaries flagship, which closed on $22.2bn in 2023.
