Emerging managers should not be surprised when they are expected to provide reporting and transparency on a par with larger competitors, writes Jeff Gendel, principal at Gen II Fund Services.

After another busy year in the secondaries market, demand for capital solutions shows no signs of abating as both GPs and LPs navigate a shifting market backdrop.

Evergreen fund managers need scale and advanced analytics to balance risk/return with duration and meet investors’ liquidity demands, say StepStone Private Wealth’s Bob Long and Neil Menard.

There are whole swathes of the economy that simply cannot be accessed through public market investment today, thereby boosting private markets’ appeal, says Schroders Capital’s Tim Boole.

GP stakes investing aims to offer investors cashflow and diversification in uncertain times, says Blue Owl Capital senior managing director Sean Ward.

Rather than selling troubled positions at heavy discounts in the secondaries market, LPs should consider bringing in outside support to agitate for a successful wind-down, says Cork Gully managing partner Stephen Cork.

A lack of liquidity is creating new opportunities to partner with mid-market managers and their portfolio companies, says head of Northleaf Capital Partners’ private equity programme, Michael Flood.

Managers will need to take a serious look at how they integrate digital solutions into their operations to attract LPs in an increasingly complex fund environment, says Ferhat Ansari at FIS.

Strategic partnerships, tech enablement and education will be key to effectively accessing the growing pool of capital in the wealth management market, says Brian Ruder, co-managing partner at Permira.

Technology is critical to the creation of sustainable and scalable operating models, says Alter Domus chief operating officer Michael Janiszewski.
