A very interesting topic of discussion. Having managed capital markets for listed PE funds in my past, it's always hard to say which way the discount closes. Is the market right? Or is it the GP to know better? On this point, you correctly reference t…lnkd.in/dAv3ytnN

Let's talk about #privatemarkets #liquidity 👂 Heard from investors: "if we head towards the troubled waters of a recession there will be forced sellers of private funds and good deals". Yes but... "Is it a matter of price or, could it be that buyers m…lnkd.in/dE8xaDFJ

No one can be sure about private market valuations. 💡 Indeed an interesting post, prompting a couple of thoughts on #privatemarket #valuation, along the lines of those I posted recently about an article from @adamtuyenle (link in comments). 📢 The fac…lnkd.in/dUJ_yuai
