Report highlights

Despite challenging conditions in private equity, the secondaries market has performed exceptionally well, and experts see this momentum continuing. Fundraising almost doubled in 2023, and the vast majority of those we surveyed believe their next funds will be larger than the last. High-net-worth individuals are seen as a previously untapped driver of this growth. Deal activity is also increasing, particularly in the rapidly evolving GP-led space. In response, a wide range of highly bespoke deal and financing structures are emerging.

68%

of respondents see deal activity increasing by 10-25% in 2024.

75%

say they will be more active in GP-led deals in the next 12 months.

90%

of managers expect more investment from HNWIs.

98%
