Insights

Opportunity in the Undercapitalized World of Private Equity Secondaries

While an increasing volume of GP-led transactions is being brought to the market, there is an acute shortage of capital—providing an attractive and likely lasting opportunity for experienced investors.

Asset Allocation Committee Outlook | April 2023

Paid to Be Patient
