Secondary transactions

In secon­dary private equity (PE) tran­sac­tions, the exis­ting (partial) port­fo­lio of PE inves­tors (e.g. venture capi­tal, bridge, buy-outs, mezza­nine, etc.) is sold. The sale of indi­vi­dual funds or parts thereof is usually initia­ted by the inves­tor; howe­ver, it can also be initia­ted by the manage­ment of the PE houses. The sale enables the Inves­tors gene­rate liqui­dity immediately.
