In this episode of Private Equity Wire®, we delve into the secondary market with Bosa Adeghe, a partner at Coller EQT. EQT, a Swedish private capital firm, recently announced the closure of its acquisition of Coller Capital, a secondaries investor, in a deal valued at up to $3.7bn. This formed a new subsidiary, Coller EQT.
As the popularity of secondaries continues to rise, they have become a vital tool for liquidity management, especially for semi-liquid funds struggling under pressure from rising redemptions. These funds can now also leverage secondaries to shorten durations and maintain cash flow alongside liquid cash and public equities.
Adeghe discusses the shift from LP-led to GP-led transactions, highlighting trophy-asset retention as the main driver behind the continuation of these vehicles. The reasons behind this trend and the role of AI in the secondary market are also explored.
The interview touches on the use of secondaries to manage liquidity challenges and whether there are opportunities in acquiring discounted assets.
