Secondaries

The deal is one of several that allow large organisations to shift private equity into new vehicles that provide more space, and fresh capital, to continue building out the strategy.

Women from two managers, a sovereign wealth fund and a law firm represented the secondaries market in the inaugural Women of Influence list.

The original deal was set to be one of the largest GP-led secondaries ever, but well into the process Panasonic decided to acquire the largest asset, supply chain software provider Blue Yonder.

BlackRock, GIC and Lexington Partners co-led the deal, the third inaugural continuation vehicle this month.

The firm anticipates that expansion into real estate, credit and infra secondaries will come alongside additional hires.

With $253bn invested in alternatives out of $1.5trn in overall AUM, PGIM is one of the largest groups yet to make a move into the secondaries market.

The White Plains-based advisory found in its survey that secondaries has become a strong seller's market.

The appointment comes a month after the investment bank hired a former Apollo Global Management and Credit Suisse exec to work on the strategy.

Four months after bringing on Jake Stuiver from Evercore to build out the strategy, the firm continues to devote resources to the LP side of the market amid the post-covid rebound.
