Community organisers cited the secondaries firm's 2019 investment in Pretium Partners, whose portfolio company HavenBrook is facing scrutiny.

The deal is the second that Glendower has backed in healthcare in recent months, following the €700m DomusVi process last month.

The South Korean public pension fund has backed Brookfield's latest investment strategy.

Suyi Kim, previously head of Asia at the Canadian pension giant, has been named to lead its private equity unit globally.

The pension moderated the pace of new secondaries commitments, citing a high risk/return bar amid decreased market activity as a result of the pandemic.

Staff say they are seeing more GP-led secondaries than they have in the past, and are expecting to see more.

The $82bn public employees' retirement fund, which is overweight in private equity, plans to maintain its commitment pace and take other actions to get the portfolio right-sized.

Record volumes, lots of new entrants and GP-led deals with a little more 'hair on them' are among trends to look out for this year, according to industry leaders.

The preferred equity specialist says it closed transactions this year across Europe, North America and Asia from a total pipeline of around $20bn.

Some board members have voiced concerns about the pace at which the $20bn pension is implementing plans to branch out into secondaries and co-investments.
