Q.
Private Equity: Direct Secondaries

Where can I find information on direct secondary private equity activity?


A.

In Preqin, find information on direct secondary, search for "Funds" and select "Advanced Search." Under "Strategy," select "Secondaries." Use "More Filters," to add additional criteria.

You can also find a list of secondaries (and their corresponding investments). Click on "Private Equity." Then navigate to "Funds." Click on "Advanced Search" and select "direct secondaries" from the "Type."  

In PitchBook, go to "Funds." Under "Fund Criteria," select "Secondaries Funds," and add any remaining criteria. You can see results by funds, deals, etc. and performance data if available.
