Episode 14: Private Capital Secondaries: From Stigmatized Distressed Selling to Sophisticated Portfolio Toolset with Vern Perry and Taylor Robinson

It’s another coming of age story on Capital Decanted. In this case, since Dayton Carr conceived the space in 1984, we’ve seen private capital secondaries morph from a niche set of transactions of distressed limited partner selling to a more than $600B asset management and liquidity tool utilized by the most sophisticated LPs and GPs in the world and now devoid of the original stigma that plagued these activities. We’ll examine that winding and explosive history of their beginning and then tackle the state and progression of today’s market with partners from the two largest secondaries funds on record.   Introduction (0:47) Halftime (47:15) Guests (52:34) Guests: Vern Perry: Global Head of Blackstone Strategic Partners Taylor Robinson: Partner, Lexington Partners Episode Sources
