Three things to look out for in the secondaries market over the next 12 months.

The world's largest asset manager expects to hold the final close on its debut secondaries fund in Q1 2021.

Nordea Private Equity's secondaries fund is managed by Christen Estrup and former Partners Group executive Julien Marencic.

The $60bn pension's private equity advisor, StepStone Group, is the lead investor on the deal, which includes healthcare company Confluent Medical Technologies.

The Carlyle subsidiary has hit the hard-cap on ASP VII and raised $1.2bn for co-investments, with support of LPs such as the California Public Employees' Retirement System.

DWS, which is understood to be in market with its debut fund, recently completed a deal involving Revelstoke Capital Partners portfolio company DataLink Software.

The tech specialist is among several high-profile private equity firms tapping the secondaries market this year.
