Hi Steve - could I kindly ask how PE secondaries transactions are priced? I know that they tend to trade at a discount to NAV, however some trade at a premium too. Is this discount-premium dynamic ad-hoc, or are there set rules when it comes to pricing? Thank you
Hi hwaryoue, thanks for your question. The discount-premium dynamic is based on the supply and demand for the secondary. While there are no "set" rules, there may be restrictions/rules stated in the Limited Partnership Agreement. Also to note, in times when the public markets fall, more investors will need to sell their PE stake on the secondary market (e.g. to rebalance their portfolio). In these times, such as in 2008/2009, PE secondaries traded a large discount to NAV). Does that answer your question? If not, please write me back and I'll do my best to answer it.
@@SteveBalaban Hi Prof Balaban, I'm your former student and now coming back to these videos to review some PE concepts. They really helped to refresh my knowledge and prepare for interviews. Could I ask what factors are considered to determine such discount to NAV in secondary transactions? Thank you.
Steve, i appreciate your time in sharing these informative videos in the PE space. Quick question, are there any opportunities for sales guys in PE and secondaries? I can easily make 100s of calls a day, have lots of principal contacts and dont mind doing the grinding to develop new business for a fund manager. Had series 7 in the past and willing to take all exams
Whether the PE secondary prevents the J curve depends on how much premium it pays to the PE seller? If it pays too much and the start-up goes bad, PE secondary loses money
It's similar, but there are different elements, such as valuing the secondary transaction. For example, when buying a secondary fund, you'll negotiate the discount/premium to NAV that you will pay. The price isn't set. That's just one example. If you need further clarification, please let me know.
Hi Steve, I really appreciate your videos! I have a question. Sounds like secondaries is a perfect scenario, you mitigate the J curve, you have a more liquid asset in less time. Why would anyone invest on a regular 10 y PE fund if you can buy a secondaries fund? I don’t see the trade off. Sounds like a win win situation.
Great point, Mark. Well, you can't always get secondaries in the funds that you want. Also, a lot would depend on the price you are paying for the secondary (and the access to get that secondary). With that said, secondaries are a very attractive investment option, especially for family offices that don't want to lock up their capital for a full 10 years.
Hey Steve, I’m new to the concept wondering if there is a platform for secondaries? I’ve started a self-funded firm in Toronto so I’m really appreciating the content.

Your videos are awesome, Steve.
@Johan Benson You suck

Secondaries is devouring PE
Why do some companies have separate teams for secondariies? Isn't the process of acquiring the asset similar to regular PE?
It's similar, but there are different elements, such as valuing the secondary transaction. For example, when buying a secondary fund, you'll negotiate the discount/premium to NAV that you will pay. The price isn't set.
