New pricing patterns and rising competitiveness are helping to distinguish GP-leds from the LP-led side of the market, says Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s Nash Waterman.

Surging demand for GP-led secondaries is altering how investors analyse dealflow and accelerating buyer specialisation, according to Baird GP Solutions’ Jeremy Duksin, Alex Mejia and Chad Bounds.

Investors need to re-evaluate outdated allocation models in light of an explosion in GP-led secondaries deals, says New 2ND Capital founder Tjarko Hektor.

In the rapidly evolving GP-led market, new approaches to deal terms and structures are proving a hot topic, according to Akin partners Fadi Samman, Daniel Quinn and Simon Ellis.

The arrival of niche strategies in GP-led secondaries is helping to diversify the opportunity set like never before, according to AltamarCAM Partners’ Rocío Heres and Miguel Echenique.

Amid a slow M&A and IPO market, GP-led transaction volume grew by more than 50% last year. And according to PJT Partners’ Johanna Lottmann and Nicholas Lyons, that’s unlikely to change, even as traditional exits pick up.

Hugh MacArthur, Bain & Company’s global private equity practice chairman, describes how the business of private equity is fundamentally changing.

Initiatives to boost workforce diversity, motivation and happiness can pay dividends for investors, explain NSSK’s Jun Tsusaka, Kiyomi Matsuda and Kurama Sato.

The private equity ownership model is ideally suited to driving change and building more sustainable companies, says Nordic Capital’s Elin Ljung.

2025 is the year investors will be compelled to deliver on sustainability, beginning with putting robust governance structures in place, says General Atlantic’s Cornelia Gomez.
