HSBC Global Private Banking’s alternatives head, Mathieu Forcioli, reveals that their programme includes both GP-led and LP-led transactions. This news was shared with Secondaries Investor, indicating the growing trend of private equity firms and investors seeking liquidity through secondary market transactions.
The programme, led by Forcioli, focuses on providing liquidity solutions to private equity investors and managers. This includes both GP-led transactions, where the fund manager sells a portion of their fund to a new investor, and LP-led transactions, where limited partners sell their stakes in a fund to other investors.
Forcioli highlights the increasing demand for secondary market transactions, as private equity investors look to rebalance their portfolios and generate liquidity. He also notes that the programme has seen success in the Asia-Pacific region, where there is a growing interest in alternative investments.
This news is significant as it showcases the growing importance of secondary market transactions in the private equity industry. With the current economic uncertainty and market volatility, many investors are looking to reduce their exposure to illiquid assets and generate cash. This has led to a surge in secondary market activity, with GP-led transactions in particular gaining popularity.
HSBC Global Private Banking’s programme is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend, providing a range of liquidity solutions to meet the needs of both fund managers and investors. As the alternative investment landscape continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how this programme and others like it shape the future of the private equity market.
