Secondaries

The single-asset continuation fund deal is among many that are keeping secondaries professionals busy and sending the market to what could be record volume levels.

William Blair estimates about $72bn in GP-led activity this year, up from around $50bn last year.

Pak-Seng Lai, former head of APAC private wealth at Blue Owl Capital and head of private markets APAC at UBS, joined Coller's Hong Kong office in October.

Around 14% of GP-led market volume in the first half involved growth and venture capital, which was up markedly from the first half last year, according to Lazard’s half-year secondary volume report.

The US-based mid-market specialist launched its 12th PE flagship in December with a $750m target, according to pension documents.

Tokenised secondaries funds are a great match for first-time investors in private markets, says Securitize co-founder Jamie Finn.

The assets in the process run by the firm formerly known as The Jordan Company 'do not appear to have the ability to generate outsized returns', according to adviser Aon.

GP-led deal volume reached an estimated $28bn in the first half, a 56% increase from the same period last year, according to Jefferies’ first-half volume report.
