Momentum in the secondaries market has resulted in creative solutions across asset classes, say Sijia Cai and Leor Landa, partners in the investment management practice at Davis Polk & Wardwell.

Appetite for secondaries remains buoyant despite a dip in fundraising at the start of the year, says Tim Toska, global sector head of private equity at Alter Domus.

Secondaries managers that are able to capture, organise and analyse data using AI are likely going to prove the most scalable, say BlackRock’s Lisa Sun and Roque Calleja.

Advances in artificial intelligence offer new use cases and productivity gains, opening up opportunities for late-stage companies, say Wellington Management’s Rob Mazzoni and Matt Witheiler.

While applying artificial intelligence to PE investment processes isn’t easy, first movers and those with powerful systems can gain a competitive advantage, says Nils Rode at Schroders Capital.

Investment in change management is key to harnessing real value from artificial intelligence, say CVC Capital Partners’ Jean-Rémy Roussel and Andrea Peyracchia.

Private equity’s interventionist approach is accelerating AI adoption across portfolio companies, as GPs also explore applications in their own operations, say Bridget Walsh, Kenneth Woodruff and Prashant Garg at EY.

As the secondaries market segments into different risk/return strategies, LPs may need to become more granular in their approach to the asset class, say Ignacio de la Mora and Derek Snyder, partners at AltamarCAM Partners.

While LP appetites for China are somewhat diminished, excitement is growing around India and Japan.

Evolutions in the secondaries market have led to different levels of growth in its various subsegments, says Nate Walton, partner and head of private equity secondaries at Ares Management
