Growth Expected in Private Equity Market

The private equity market is expected to experience significant growth in the next few years. This growth is fueled by new entrants, with the potential for 10 to 20 new secondary funds focusing on the GP side. The GP side of the market could reach $200 to $250 billion in five years, with total market size estimated to grow to four to 500 billion. The growth of retail in private equity, especially 40 act type of funds, seeking to invest in secondaries due to the continuous capital influx, is amplifying the market's expansion. These retail investors have become increasingly crucial buyers in the market, compared to a few years ago when their presence was negligible.
