NYPPEX: Secondary Price Trends for Private Equity Funds Worldwide in 4Q2020
November 16, 2020
- Although there is significant liquidity in the secondary private equity markets, bid indications are only modestly higher in the 4Q2020 for interests in private equity funds as compared to the 3Q2020.
- We believe secondary buyers are concerned about (and pricing bids to reflect):
Ongoing COVID-19 trends that are adversely affecting portfolio companies, particularly those in the retail, travel and leisure industries;
Uncertainty regarding US presidential election related litigation
- On the positive side:
Secondary market liquidity is deep as our managed auctions are attracting many interested buyers;
Highly uncalled interests (less than 40% called) are attracting plenty of secondary buyers as a result of the record amount of capital raised for secondary allocations in 2020
