Continuation Funds, a strategic niche
25% CAGR
The emergence of the continuation fund market in Europe is opening up opportunities for new players. This market, worth over $100 billion, is growing by more than 25% per year and is mainly structured in the United States.
The maturity of traditional private equity funds creates arbitrage opportunities, as some investors have to sell their securities at a discount due to a lack of liquidity.
In a context where the best companies move from fund to fund, managers have an interest in renewing their holdings in their best companies rather than selling them to a competing manager.
