Secondaries Report 2023

How have rising interest rates impacted the secondaries market in 2023? What key trends do secondary fund managers expect to see in the near future? Investec’s 2023 Secondaries Report, which canvasses views from more than 30 secondary fund managers, answers both these questions in this report.

   

Introduction

The report focuses on how financing solutions are being used against a rising rate environment, whether at the secondary funds or at deal level; exploring trends and structures within the market. Whilst liquidity constraints remain prevalent and the supply and demand imbalance continues within the fund financing market, the report highlights the need for solution-orientated lenders with a proactive approach in providing tailored and flexible facilities to meet the evolving needs of the industry, to support the future growth of secondaries.

Looking forward

While private equity secondaries are not immune to disruption, the market continues on its long-term growth trajectory.

Financing within secondaries is rising to the challenge of high-interest rates – and appears to be holding strong. Until now, in an ultra-low-rate environment, growing demand for debt was almost a given. However, 2023 survey results prove it has an enduring appeal for GPs across the cycle.
