About the panel 

Demand for secondaries is stronger than ever, especially in the wake of the pandemic-induced market volatility of the past year. But what will be the top trends driving growth in the market in the next 10 years? This and other questions were the focus of IQ-EQ and Moonfare’s virtual roundtable that took place in May 2021. 

Key highlights

  • The evolution of the secondaries market In 2020 alone, four out of the 10 largest fundraisers were secondaries. If you go back 10 years, we weren’t even close to that, and if you go back 20 years no one knew what secondaries were.
  • Key drivers of secondaries’ growth There are several key drivers for LP buyers in the secondaries space, including rebalancing, a change of priorities, diversification, avoiding the J-curve effect, increasing visibility on performance and the attraction of risk-weighted returns. 
  • Growing access to the secondaries space In addition to the increasing market transparency, the secondary space has matured and today caters to a more diverse range of asset bases, allowing for a wider range of participants to access the market.
