Private Equity Secondaries (Sale and Transfer of Fund Interests)

A secondary is a sale and transfer of an interest in a private equity fund by an existing investor to other investors.

For the seller, it provides instant liquidity on its existing private equity investments and an immediate reduction of outstanding cash commitments.

For the GP, it provides the opportunity to enhance its LP base in a single transaction and win new signal investors.

The buyer acquires a mature portfolio, which reduces liquidity risk and blind pool risk as compared to pure primary investing.

GlobalFinance is a specialist in performing secondary transactions. The secondaries market is not transparent. GlobalFinance bridges the information gap for the seller, the buyer and the GP and provides a quick assessment of

  • Market interest
  • Indicative pricing
  • Structuring and transfer issues
  • Syndication
GPs have been keen to close the deal with our proposed investors as we have access to signal LPs who are also open to new primary commitments.
