As the secondaries market reaches new heights, the most commonly used tools within the LP-led and GP-led sectors continue to adapt while the emergence of new liquidity options are ever emerging.
It is well documented that the secondaries market reached around $100 billion in the first half of 2025 and market participants broadly expect volume will reach or exceed $200 billion this year, marking yet another record.
Secondaries Investor has been at the forefront of covering the market for over a decade – whether it be the introduction of novel ways to offer tools to private markets participants, LPs’ views on liquidity options of every flavour, or buyers’ quests to find greater alignment on secondaries transactions in an imperfect world.
It’s against this backdrop we launch our inaugural Global Market Survey. Conducted in partnership with Goodwin, it is open to private markets LPs, GPs, secondaries buyers and advisers.

Have your say on a variety of topics including: your comfort with private asset valuations before companies are moved into continuation funds; whether artificial intelligence has changed the way you view or underwrite secondaries; and which asset class will offer the best opportunity for alpha in secondaries deals over the coming years.
