When Specialty Finance Meets Silicon Valley Innovation

With liquidity needs continuing to be on the rise, many sophisticated investors look to the secondaries market for solutions. However, with the lower valuations in Real Estate, there may be opportunities in the Real Estate Secondaries space that might not be on the radar as a result of skepticism in the market. But where is that skepticism coming from? Could the opportunities lie in GP-Led secondary transactions more so than LP-led? And what kind of insight can fundamental analysis provide to uncovering opportunities in the space? On this episode of Disruptive Forces, Anu Rajakumar brings back Scott Koenig, Head of Real Estate Secondaries, to understand what dynamics are at play in the market environment that could allow for Real Estate Secondaries to be considered a “diamond in the rough” against today’s economic backdrop.     This general market summary and the opinions and beliefs expressed in this podcast are provided for general informational purposes only.  Nothing herein constitutes investment, legal, accounting or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a security, and the views and beliefs expressed are not intended to predict or guarantee the future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets generally.  This presentation is general in nature and is not directed to any category of investors and should not be regarded as individualized, a recommendation, investment advice or a suggestion to engage in or refrain from any investment-related course of action.
