According to Martha, there is a significant mismatch between exited companies and unrealized companies. This means that there will continue to be a need for GP-led solutions and liquidity offerings for the huge amount of unrealized NAV that is stuck in the system. She adds that private equity managers are becoming more comfortable with GP-led technology and that secondaries funds are growing in size to take advantage of GP-led transaction opportunities.

Martha sees LGT Capital Partners as a partner to GPs and as a solution provider in the secondaries space to help them resolve their issues – with a focus on small to mid-market buyouts. Through the firm’s well-established GP relationships and by leveraging its primaries platform, LGT Capital Partners is able to unlock transactions and has a proprietary deal flow that is very distinct from large firms.
