Private credit secondary sales set to rise as market turmoil spurs hunt for cash

Investors are increasingly considering secondary sales of private credit holdings amid market volatility triggered by trade wars under U.S. President Donald Trump. This $1.5-trillion industry, including companies like Apollo Global Management, may see more secondary sales as investors seek liquidity due to falling public market values and a need for cash. With rising demand, managers like Pantheon raised significant funds for buying private credit stakes, viewing current conditions as an opportunity for strategic purchases.

Is The Line Between India's Private Equity And VC Funds Blurring?

Private equity (PE) firms are increasingly investing in growth-stage startups as the line between venture capital (VC) and private equity in India blurs.
