PE Gets Agile:

Enhancing portfolios with Secondaries and Co-Investments

Roundtable Highlights Reels

As private equity evolves, investors are turning to more agile strategies to sharpen exposure and unlock value.  GP- and LP-led secondaries, alongside targeted co-investments, are powerful levers to boost flexibility, optimise liquidity, diversify holdings, and capture value across market cycles.

In the VP’s recent roundtable we brought together experts to explore.
In these short highlight-reel interviews, we focus on the key questions that drove the Panel debate:

  • The use of GP- & LP-led secondaries to increase agility and sharpen exposure
  • How co-investments diversify portfolios and enhance risk adjusted returns
  • How single-asset transactions and emergent GPs can drive alpha
  • How technology is transforming due diligence reducing blind-pool risk
