6 [ 4 ] Guide to the Secondary Market Preface When we last published this report a year ago, we marveled at how the secondary industry had taken on many of the same characteristics seen in the industry back in Pricing for certain portfolios, particularly buyout funds, had once again approached aggressive levels, in some cases even hitting 100% of a portfolio s underlying net asset value. At the same time, an abundance of capital available for secondary deals and free-flowing cheap debt to finance them drove an abundance of deal volume. It was hard to imagine the market could get any more ebullient. Yet, a year later, that s exactly what has happened. As 2015 progresses, however, the forces that helped drive secondary deal volume to record levels in 2014 also appear to be raising concerns among some buyers that the market is getting overheated. For the first time in a long time, more secondary buyers have begun to question whether the market has entered a bubble, particularly for what they commonly refer to as flow funds, or stakes in megabuyout funds. In this edition of the Dow Jones Guide to the Secondary Market, our survey results illustrate some of those emerging concerns, with some 94% of buyers surveyed characterizing the current market as a seller s market. At the same time, more than three-quarters of buyers in this year s survey say they feel pricing is too high. However, as the secondary market has diversified, buyers still point to pockets of deal flow where pricing is often less efficient, such as in general partner restructurings and in more complex transactions involving portfolios of direct stakes in companies or groups spinning out of large financial institutions. They also acknowledge that although strong pricing puts pressure on future returns, it also attracts more sellers to the market. Even a bubble may have its benefits. We hope that this edition of our secondary guide will help illuminate emerging trends in the market and also provide a useful resource for prospective sellers and GPs who want to identify possible buyers for certain types of assets. As always, we welcome your feedback on how we can improve the content for future editions. Sincerely, Laura Kreutzer Assistant Managing Editor, Private Equity Dow Jones & Co.

8 [ 6 ] Guide to the Secondary Market Secondary Market Goes Mainstream, as Deal Volume Hits New High By HILLARY CANADA In addition to being a record year for secondary volume, 2014 may be the year that finally smashed some lingering myths about the secondary market. What Percentage of Secondary Deals You Do is Due to: 50% 46% 45% The idea that the market would attract forced sellers has been fading for years, and all but completely disappeared during 2014 as limited partners, flush with cash from the record distributions of their general partners, shopped portfolios large and small as a way to refine their holdings. Meanwhile, the dynamics surrounding a nascent part of the market, general partner restructurings, slowly have started to shift. No longer the exclusive province of the lumbering zombie fund, restructurings and the selling of tail-end assets are slowly becoming more commonplace among wellperforming GPs, said industry experts Economic concerns of inexperienced investors/distressed 29% 24% 23% 25% Regulatory changes 20% 15% Their use as GP a portfolio recapitalizations management tool (or fund restructurings) 18% 20% 8% Other Those two trends, of portfolio management and of GPs seeking solutions for aging funds, are expected to drive deal flow in 2015, but secondary buyers polled by Dow Jones in our annual secondary survey were divided over whether secondary volume in 2015 would match or exceed 2014 levels. Deal value, which hit record levels in 2014 (see page 22 for the various volume estimates), was driven partly by roughly a dozen billion-dollar-plus transactions that came to market, including portfolios from General Electric Co. s GE Capital, Pennsylvania Public School Employees Retirement System and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Do You Expect This Year to Be a Record Year for Secondary Deal Volume? 100% 32% 34% 47% Mean Median Source: Guide to the Secondary Market, 2015 edition Roughly two out of three survey respondents said they anticipated 2015 to be a record year for volume as well, citing good pricing for sellers, more opportunities for GP restructurings and an aging set of funds in Asia potentially fueling supply. The survey reflected responses from 57 buyers, including some of the industry s largest players. Other respondents saw the blockbuster year in 2014 as an outlier, driven by those large portfolios, and didn t expect the same dynamics to materialize during Eric Zoller, partner and co-founder of secondary adviser Sixpoint Partners, said he was skeptical 2015 would be marked by the same amount of big ticket transactions. The exception may be in real estate secondaries, where Mr. Zoller and others said they anticipated increased activity and larger portfolios to manifest. 68% 66% 53% Pent-Up Demand The prevalence of large transactions meant that a handful of buyers accounted for a disproportionate percentage of deal volume, according to Mathieu Dréan, a managing partner at placement agent Triago Yes No Source: Guide to the Secondary Market, 2015 edition % Other players were equally eager to get deals done, said Mr. Dréan, adding those buyers in the market who didn t deploy as much capital as they would have liked in 2014 have greater incentive to make investments in 2015.
9 Roughly two out of three survey respondents said they anticipated 2015 to be a record year for volume...but other respondents saw the blockbuster year in 2014 as an outlier, driven by those large portfolios, and didn t expect the same dynamics to materialize during Guide to the Secondary Market [ 7 ]
10 [ 8 ] Guide to the Secondary Market For its part, Triago estimates transaction volume in 2015 will reach between $35 and $40 billion, but predicts fewer large transactions and a wider diversification of buyers. Roughly 44% of survey participants said they saw new competition for deals during 2014, from limited partners including family offices, endowments and foundations. The massive wave of distributions that has washed over LPs portfolios may serve to accelerate secondary buying among LPs as they seek to invest capital quickly. Through the first quarter, Mr. Dréan said Triago already had transacted with between 12 and 14 unique buyers a much higher figure than usual. In a given year, we usually end up transacting with 22 to 25 distinct buyers, he said, adding that interested buyers run the gamut from dedicated secondary funds, funds of funds, insurance companies, private offices and others. The big theme for all LPs these days is to try to optimize the deployment rate, said Mr. Dréan. They re eager to do secondary deals. They re clearing the deck of massive amounts of money. He added those types of buyers would stick primarily to simpler and smaller transactions. As it did in last year s survey, portfolio management remains the primary driver of secondary deal volume, accounting for an average of 46% of deal flow among this year s survey respondents, up from an average of 40% in a similar survey conducted last year. Many sellers are working on portfolio solutions, but are waiting for the year-end numbers or even the March 31 numbers to come through, said Benoît Verbrugghe, head of the U.S. office at Ardian. We think that [in] the second quarter, you will start to see new transactions coming in the market. Shifts in strategy, staffing changes and an overall appetite to rebalance were among the underlying motivators for some sellers in 2014, said Mr. Zoller. As these types of pruning transactions have become more commonplace, Triago calculated that the average portion of a portfolio that will end up in secondaries is close to 20%. Percentage of Funds Going to Small/Large Deals Median Percentage 100% Current Fund 70% 75% Stakes With NAVs Less Than $15M in Size Prior Fund Source: Guide to the Secondary Market, 2015 edition No sophisticated institutional investor today thinks about private equity commitments as just buy and hold, Wilson Warren, a partner at New York-based Lexington Partners told Private Equity Analyst in April. They know that they will have to do something actively with their portfolio over time, or the portfolio will end up being too disparate. Don t Bank On Financial Institutions Regulatory changes in the U.S. and Europe drove an average of about 29% of transactions, according to survey respondents, in line with last year s figures. But industry experts predict that well is close to running dry, as those financial institutions that continue to hold private equity assets on their balance sheets cling tightly to those investments. Banks and insurance companies have been creative in delaying sales in hopes that regulation would change, said Mr. Zoller. A two-year extension that gives banks until 2017 to comply with the Volcker rule in the U.S. means that such 50% 55% 8% Stakes With NAVs Larger Than $15M in Size Did You Participate in Any GP or Fund Restructuring Deals Over the Past Year?

13 Guide to the Secondary Market [ 11 ] BANKS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE BEEN CREATIVE IN DELAYING SALES IN HOPES THAT REGULATION WOULD CHANGE. Eric Zoller, partner and co-founder of secondaries adviser Sixpoint Partners institutions have even more runway to delay a sale. Meanwhile, in early 2015, bank regulators issued guidance on the Volcker rule that appears to allow foreign banks operating in the U.S. more leeway to hold onto certain types of private equity investments. That said, banks that have held onto assets may have an incentive to sell that s driven more by the generous pricing available than by looming regulatory threats, said Mr. Dréan. It s a good time to rationalize assets and cash out, he said. A group of European lenders, including Standard Chartered PLC, HSBC Holdings PLC and Unicredit SpA, were among those who sold large private equity fund portfolios or initiated plans to do so last year. Perhaps the highest-profile transaction in the bank space last year came as J.P. Morgan agreed to sell roughly half its stake in buyout arm One Equity Partners to Lexington Partners and AlpInvest Partners. J.P. Morgan had said its plan to spin off One Equity wasn t in response to regulatory pressure, but rather was a reflection of the firm s uneven returns and uncertainty over where the unit fit within the bank, The Wall Street Journal reported. Lexington also was behind a deal to buy a substantial portion of a $1.5 billion commitment Citigroup Inc. made to a fund managed by Metalmark Capital. Citigroup moved to shed its ownership stake in Metalmark in late One secondary buyer estimated the remaining value of bank-held private equity assets in the U.S. and Europe at roughly $50 billion. That has dwindled from 2014, when professionals estimated that there were between $60 billion and $85 billion of assets left to sell. Clearly a lot of banks have sold at this point, said Stephen Sloan, a managing partner at secondary intermediary Greenhill Cogent. We don t expect them to be a growing part of the market, though they do still have assets to sell. Select Secondary Funds in the Market or Recently Closed (cont.)

Source: Guide to the Secondary Market, 2015 edition Buyers Become Sellers Premium pricing also inspired some historical buyers, including funds of funds, to sell portfolios, allowing them to return cash more expediently to their own limited partners. Private Advisors, Adams Street Partners, HarbourVest Partners and Pantheon were among the funds of funds that opted to explore options on the secondary market during the past 18 months. [Funds of funds] have a view on pricing for most assets they own, and if someone in the market is pricing it materially higher, they re willing to sell, said Greenhill Cogent Managing Director Brian Mooney. Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, one of the industry s most prominent secondary buyers, is among those taking advantage of favorable pricing, exploring the potential sale of a portfolio of stakes valued at between $1 billion and $1.5 billion, Private Equity Analyst reported in April. Percentage of Funds Going to U.S./Non-U.S. Deals Median Percentage 100% % 70% 35% 35% Restructurings Gain Popularity Despite challenges posed by trying to engineer a fund restructuring, the number of such transactions and the number of buyers willing to attempt them continue to increase. Landmark Partners estimates that the number of restructurings increased 35% year-over-year in 2014, with the dollar volume of those transactions rising by 140%, according to Partner Ian Charles. Although GP restructurings accounted for an average of 20% of deal volume among this year s survey respondents, some 60% of our survey respondents said they had participated in a general partner or fund restructuring in So-called zombie funds are becoming a smaller part of the market, said Mr. Charles. Funds with brand-name GPs are now being restructured to provide early, attractive liquidity for LPs who want it, and better alignment and incentives for LPs that want to stay in the fund and GPs that want to improve dynamics around a predecessor fund, he said. Landmark led one such deal for a 2006-vintage fund managed by Intermediate Capital Group, a credit specialist that focuses on North America and Europe. A portion of the fund s existing investors opted to roll over proceeds into the deal, which was financed in part by a small syndicate of investors Landmark assembled. ICG is in the market seeking 2.5 billion for a new mezzanine fund, Private Equity Analyst reported in January. HarbourVest, Morgan Stanley Alternative Investment Partners and Coller Capital are among the other investors which tackled restructurings and financed spinouts during the past 24 months, according to data provider Preqin Ltd. 0 U.S. Deals Current Fund Prior Fund Source: Guide to the Secondary Market, 2015 edition Non-U.S. Deals 8% Yann Robard, who heads secondaries and co-investments at the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, said these types of deals, which he calls GP solutions, carry some of the same myths and stigmas the traditional secondary market battled in the 1990s.
15 Guide to the Secondary Market [ 13 ] THERE S STILL A LOT OF ADVERSE SELECTION IN THE MARKET...The deals are complex and there s a lot of conflict involved, but if you can construct a solution that allows the LPs to have an option that s better than the status quo, then it can be a win for everyone. Brian Mooney, managing director at Greenhill Cogent There was skepticism, and it was vulture-like from time to time, but that has completely disappeared now, he said, adding that as more these transactions take place, the industry will get more comfortable with them. Although restructurings are becoming more commonplace, industry experts agreed their complexity can be off-putting and such deals can still take unexpected turns. HarbourVest, for example, agreed earlier this year to buy stakes in two Doughty Hanson funds, committing an additional 65 million to a planned fund. Doughty Hanson, plagued by departures and meager returns, announced in April it was abandoning efforts to raise a new fund and would focus solely on managing out its remaining assets, Dow Jones sister publication Private Equity News reported. For anyone to be successful in the fund restructuring space, they ve got to have creativity, flexibility and partner with right kind of manager who has a good relationship with LPs and can balance the needs and objectives of everyone involved, said Mr. Charles. There s still a lot of adverse selection in the market, said Mr. Mooney of Greenhill Cogent. The deals are complex and there s a lot of conflict involved, but if you can construct a solution that allows the LPs to have an option that s better than the status quo, then it can be a win for everyone. Additionally, it would appear that in complicated transactions such as restructurings, size matters. In smaller restructurings, people are hesitant to get involved. It s the same amount of work, the execution risk is higher, and the payoff isn t as great, said Mr. Zoller. The overall percentage of deals being evaluated is higher, but the overall number of deals being executed is probably low, Mr. Zoller added. More and more are getting done, but the amount is less than people think.
16 [ 14 ] Guide to the Secondary Market Deals From Further Afield Even as secondary buyers vie for more typical fund portfolios, they are looking increasingly beyond traditional private equity to pick up interests in other asset classes, including infrastructure, credit, natural resources and real estate. This year, 21% of survey respondents saw more than one-fifth of the assets they purchased last year fall outside of typical private equity or venture capital, up from 15% of survey respondents the previous year and 12% of respondents to a similar survey in One asset class that experienced growth in secondary volume last year was real estate, which accounted for an estimated 10% of total secondary deal volume for the year, according to a report by Greenhill Cogent. (For more on the environment for real estate secondaries, see the article on page 26.) Although the locales of sellers and fund stakes are slowly widening, survey respondents predicted a majority of their fund would be used to purchase U.S. stakes. Respondents predicted they would invest a median of 35% of their current fund in non-u.s. deals, roughly the same percentage as their prior funds, according to the survey data. That figure also is in line with the results from last year s survey. Industry participants largely expect volume in the U.K., Japan, Brazil, Latin America and Australia to stay the same year over year. Japan was home to one of the dozen giant portfolios that hit the market in 2015, as Mizuho Financial Group agreed to sell a portfolio of about $1 billion worth of stakes to Lexington Partners.

Strong performance generated by private equity has helped create a welcoming environment for those secondary firms pitching new funds. Roughly 70% of respondents to our survey described their most recent fundraising as very easy or fairly easy, with around the same percentage completing their funds in about a year or less. As more large players, including Ardian, Coller Capital and Partners Group, seek capital in 2015, however, some industry professionals have expressed doubts about the ability of firms to buy quality assets at competitive prices. Others argue the amount of capital available to buy secondary stakes is still a fraction of the overall amount of assets available for purchase. There s only two years of buying power held by secondary buyers, said an executive at one large secondary firm. Laura Kreutzer contributed to this report.

In addition, secondary buyers have more money than ever to spend, thanks to several consecutive years of robust fundraising. In 2014, secondary buyers raised a total of $23.91 billion for new funds, surpassing the $17.30 billion raised a year earlier but falling short of the $26.33 billion record amount raised in 2012, according to Dow Jones LP Source, a data provider that, like this publication, is owned by Dow Jones. At the same time, institutional investors, including pension funds such as the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and sovereign wealth funds such as the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, have stepped up their secondary buying activity. The confluence of strong performance, cheap debt and ample capital has helped create one of the strongest seller s markets the secondary industry has ever seen, according to the latest Dow Jones survey of secondary buyers. Among this year s survey respondents, 94% characterized the current market as a seller s market, roughly in line with buyer sentiment in There s nobody that needs to sell, so there s no pressure for transactions to happen, said Brian Mooney, a managing director with intermediary Greenhill Cogent. Buyers have to price to a level where they can convince people to sell. By LAURA KREUTZER Secondary deal volume hit a record level for the second year in a row in 2014 as strong pricing brought more sellers to the negotiating table. And while secondary buyers and intermediaries expect strong pricing will continue to drive deal flow in 2015, many say they will tread carefully. You ve got to be very disciplined and like what you see and, even then, you have to lean into it a little bit, said a senior executive at one large secondary investor. The lack of distressed sellers in the market and competition among buyers for deals has driven pricing to a level that concerns many buyers. Overall, 78% of buyers in our survey feel that pricing is too high in the current market, the highest percentage of buyers that felt that way about pricing in at least the past five years of this survey.

20 [ 18 ] Guide to the Secondary Market Secondary Transactions Are Priced: 100% 0 Too High 22% 78% 2015 Too Low As this report was going to press, buyers were pricing assets off of valuations as of either Sept. 30 or 2014 yearend, with the anticipation that March 31 valuations would be higher, according to buyers and intermediaries. When the market turns, then you ll assume that the NAVs will be lower, said Kelly DePonte, a managing director at placement agent Probitas Partners. If you re a secondary player that s investing to make a profit, you ve got to be getting a bit more gun-shy right now. Because of the lack of distressed-driven transactions, sellers have no problem walking away from deals if buyers can t match their price expectations. Among this year s survey respondents, 79% said a seller had walked away from a deal over price concerns, a drop from the 88% of respondents to last year s survey that saw a seller walk away. 29% *Numbers do not add up to 100% due to rounding. Source: Guide to the Secondary Market, 2015 edition 3% 69% 2014* On Average, About Right 55% 45% % Public pension funds were the most likely to walk away from a deal over pricing, with 38% of survey respondents indicating they lost deals from public pensions over pricing, followed closely by endowments and foundations at 35%. Banks and insurance companies were the least likely in our survey to walk away from a deal with secondary buyers over pricing. The public pension plans wanted to test the pricing in the market to see how much they could get from the positions, but they were also loath to take a loss, said Mr. DePonte of Probitas Partners. They weren t necessarily committed. They were price shopping. Secondary buyers in our survey were more likely to pay up for buyout funds than venture funds, keeping with a trend also seen in last year s survey. Among survey respondents, 62% said they paid more on average for buyout funds than they did the previous year, compared with 42% of respondents that paid more on average for venture funds. Both fund types saw a higher percentage of survey respondents pay more this year than those buyers responding to a similar survey last year. Average high bids for buyout funds hit 95% of a fund s underlying net asset value during the second half of 2014, according to a pricing analysis from Greenhill Cogent. That is down slightly from the 100% of NAV that average high bids hit during the first half of 2014 but still below the premiums to NAV that average high bids for buyout funds hit in By contrast, average high bids for venture funds were only 80% of NAV during the second half of 2014, compared with 82% of NAV during the first half. On average, 24% of survey respondents in our survey paid prices for buyout funds that were equal to those funds underlying NAV, compared with only 11% of respondents that paid par for buyout fund interests in last year s survey.

21 Guide to the Secondary Market [ 19 ] Among this year s survey respondents, 11% said they paid prices for venture funds that were equal to or above the underlying NAVs for those funds. By contrast, all of the buyers that responded to a similar survey last year said they paid less than NAV for venture fund stakes. Secondary buyers and intermediaries say improved performance among venture capital funds over the past 18 months, thanks partly to large infusions of capital from late-stage investors and a favorable environment for venture-backed IPOs, has helped lure some buyers back to the space. For the 12 months through Sept. 30, venture funds generated a 24.5% pooled end-to-end net return, outpacing the 18.1% produced by private equity funds over the same period, according to data from consultant Cambridge Associates. Now that prices are higher on the buyout side, you see more secondary buyers try to tap into new markets, so more are looking into venture to stay away from high pricing in the buyout markets, said the head of secondary investments at one global fund of funds. High Prices Lower Return Expectations Stiff competition and high pricing for deals has forced some buyers to lower their future return expectations, although perhaps not as much as buyers did in last year s survey.

Continued high exit volume, combined with an abundance of cheap debt allowing buyers to enhance the returns on their equity investments, may be boosting more buyers confidence that they can still meet return expectations, even in a pricey market environment. Others, however, are taking steps to adapt to what they expect will be a more challenging return environment going forward. VC 89% 89% 100% 2014 We ve seen leverage at the smaller end of the market not just the 50-to-100 fund portfolios but the five-to-20 fund portfolios, he said. Secondary buyers can employ leverage in several different ways. Some may borrow from a third-party lender to help fund the purchase of a secondary portfolio, much in the way a buyout firm may use debt to help finance the purchase of a portfolio company. The debt helps enhance the return on the secondary buyer s equity investment in a deal, although early cash flows generated by the portfolio often end up servicing the debt before they get distributed back to the secondary fund and its investors. Adding debt to a transaction can also enhance a firm s buying power, allowing it to fund a deal on its own rather than having to split a transaction among multiple buyers, according to intermediaries. Among respondents in this year s survey, 9% said they had employed debt in transactions. Far more of the buyers in our survey, 31%, employed debt at the fund level as a cash management tool. Blackstone Group s Strategic Partners Fund Solutions unit and Lexington Partners both have used debt at the fund level to manage cash flows. Layering debt onto a secondary fund allows a firm to finance early deals outside of a fund s balance sheet so that investors that commit to later closings of a fund don t benefit from early deals at the expense of investors that signed on earlier in the fund s life. Debt facilities at the fund level tend to have lower interest rates than those that are placed on individual portfolios because they are typically perceived as less risky. Net IRR Expected From Future Funds SL Capital Partners, for one, recently lowered the proposed hurdle rate, the return threshold a fund must reach before a sponsoring firm can start pocketing profits from the fund, for its newest secondary pool to 12%, according to a recent report from sister publication Private Equity Analyst. Although 12% is still relatively high, it is modestly lower than the 14% hurdle the firm set on its first secondary fund, a $146 million vehicle closed in % % 20% Debt Goes Mainstream Buyers and intermediaries say more secondary buyers than ever are turning to the debt markets in their quest to maintain high returns in a competitive pricing environment. Leverage is very much a strategic decision at the moment, said Gregg Kantor, who works on the fund finance team at Investec Bank PLC, adding that even secondary firms that haven t previously used leverage have started to educate themselves and their senior partners about its use. There s a mindset shift. 0 17% Mean (%) Median (%) Is This IRR Higher, Lower or the Same as That of Past Funds, on Average? 14% Higher Lower 8% He added that secondary buyers and the limited partners that back them have become more comfortable with the use of leverage in secondary deals and funds, even in smaller transactions. 86% Source: Guide to the Secondary Market, 2015 edition Same
23 Guide to the Secondary Market [ 21 ] The risk the bank is taking is that the [limited partners] do not comply with capital calls, said Pierre-Antoine de Selancy, a managing partner at 17Capital, which raised some 500 million for its third fund in late It s a very different risk from lending to someone for a portfolio and using that portfolio as collateral. But firms that don t use leverage say all this debt could come back to haunt buyers in the event of a market downturn. If the exit market becomes more difficult, you have fewer distributions and your net asset values correct because they re linked to the public markets, said Wouter Moerel, head of secondaries at AlpInvest Partners. Then you could get into covenant issues with your debt. One final form of leverage used in secondary transactions comes in the form of deferred payments or seller financing. Secondary buyers may agree to pay a portion of the portfolio sale up front and defer the remainder of the payment one or even two years later. Doing so often helps buyers bid more for a portfolio when the seller is particularly sensitive to pricing, especially if the buyer expects the portfolio to generate distributions in the near term. Distributions can be used to help fund the deferred portion of the payment for the deal. GPs Flex Their Muscles As more limited partners turn to the secondary market to actively shed certain fund relationships in their portfolios, general partners managing those funds are demanding a greater say over who buys into their funds. Amid stiff competition for deals, some GPs may even demand prospective buyers of their fund stakes pony up additional capital to back a new fund or new investments, often called a stapled secondary transaction. Among this year s survey respondents, 31% backed at least one stapled secondary deal in 2014, including 8% that invested in two or more stapled secondary deals. By contrast, only 16% of those same buyers had backed at least one stapled secondary in The growing popularity of general partner or fund restructurings may also be driving growth of stapled secondary deals, as secondary investors in restructuring How Many Stapled Secondaries Did You Do? 23% 4% 4% In % 4% 12% Source: Guide to the Secondary Market, 2015 edition In More Than Three deals typically provide capital for new deals or a new fund in addition to purchasing stakes in older portfolios. Stapled secondaries can be risky, however, since it is often harder to determine how well the general partner will do with future investments than it is to assess a portfolio of deals the firm has already backed. But so far, it is a risk that many buyers seem willing to take. A More Rational Mindset? Although pricing has remained strong into 2015, buyers and intermediaries say a softening in the U.S. economy or a public market correction could prompt buyers to price bids more conservatively and potentially take some momentum out of the market. One of the reasons pricing is so high is that people anticipate that distributions and values will continue to go up, said Brent Nicklas, managing partner and chief executive of Lexington Partners, which in April wrapped up its eighth fund at its $10.1 billion cap. The moment that changes, you re going to see the bid-ask gap open up. Others, however, say they see little chance of a market correction anytime soon. Financial markets have very short memories, and the only way they move is because there s something big happening, said Mr. Moerel of AlpInvest. Are people going to be become more rational? I think something big needs to happen, and right now there s nothing on the horizon. 84% Do You Use Debt at the Fund Level?

24 [ 22 ] Guide to the Secondary Market Secondary Market Posts Record Year in 2014, Although Estimates Vary By LAURA KREUTZER Although many intermediaries and secondary buyers agreed that 2014 was a record year for deal volume, they disagreed over the size of that volume. Historically, tracking secondary deal volume has been tricky, given that investors and the general partners they backed often want to keep the fact they are selling stakes on the secondary market out of the public eye. Although still an imperfect science, secondary deals are shedding the stigma once attached to them and more sellers are bringing portfolios, particularly large ones, to market, which means measuring deal volume has gotten easier. Estimates of total transaction volume in 2014 among some half-dozen firms ranged from a little more than $35 billion made by New York-based Lexington Partners to north of $49 billion by Toronto-based intermediary Setter Capital. Methodologies for capturing and measuring data differ, with some organizations tracking deals they observe in the market, including deals that they are aware of, even if they aren t directly connected to them. Others may use a combination of buyer surveys, observed transactions and their own analysis. For example, Setter Capital bases its volume numbers largely on a regular survey of secondary buyers and makes estimates based on the firm s own analysis of buyers and sellers in the market. Even these estimates, however, leave some types of transactions underrepresented, including the volume of private securities of venture-backed companies trading on platforms, such as those owned by SharesPost Inc. and SecondMarket Inc., or trades between two institutional limited partners that involve only a single fund stake. As more investors turn to the secondary market to manage their portfolios, and as firms that track the market continue to hone their data gathering techniques, deal volume estimates ultimately may start to converge around a slightly narrower band of numbers, according to intermediaries. n Select Estimates of Secondary Deal Volume, 2014 vs $50B $ $42.00 $35.14 $36.50 $36.00 $36.00 $ $27.50 $23.35 $24.50 $ Greenhill Cogent Lexington Partners NYPPEX Inc.

28 [ 26 ] Guide to the Secondary Market Real Estate Secondary Volume Continues Growth Trajectory By HILLARY CANADA The real estate secondary market continued its exponential growth during 2014 as generous pricing drew sellers to the marketplace. The number of real estate secondary transactions grew to 92 in 2014, a 60% increase from the 57 deals tracked in 2013, according to data from secondary firm Landmark Partners. Similarly, the value of transactions in the sector grew by 30% during 2014 to $4.8 billion from $3.69 billion a year earlier. Real estate secondaries have been a laggard as it compares to private equity, said Landmark Partner Jamie Sunday. But he added that a growth spurt among private equity real estate funds starting around 2005 has helped expand the underlying asset base. And just as they do with private equity, limited partners turn to the secondary market to prune their portfolios. LPs may have questioned whether enough buyer s capital existed to justify bringing large portfolios to market, said Mr. Sunday. That attitude may be gradually changing in part because more capital is slowly making its way into the space. Strategic Partners Fund Solutions, the secondary platform Blackstone Group bought from Credit Suisse Group, as well as Carlyle Group s fund-of-funds Metropolitan Real Estate and Morgan Stanley Alternative Investment Partners were said to be raising or considering raising dedicated secondary pools, Private Equity News reported in Last year was a record year for real estate secondary fundraising, with three vehicles closing on a combined $2.3 billion, according to data provider Preqin Ltd. That was the highest annual total since 2010, when $2.2 billion Real Estate Secondary Deal Volume, $5,000M 4,000 3,000 $2,599.2 $2, ,000 $1,810.4 $1,247.3 $ ,000 $855.1 $590.1 $ Source: Landmark Partners $3, % $4,800.6 was raised by four funds, and a multifold increase from the $100 million raised in Some larger portfolios have started to trickle onto the market. New Jersey Division of Investment, for instance, sold a portfolio of 25 stakes for $925 million to NorthStar Realty Finance Corp. and Goldman Sachs Asset Management. According to a memo about the transaction, New Jersey was able to sell the portfolio, which included funds from managers including BlackRock Inc., CBRE Inc., TA Associates Realty and others, at par to the portfolio s underlying net asset value. After trading at an average discount of nearly 30% of net asset value in the years following the collapse of the housing market in 2008, real estate fund stakes were attracting much richer bids in 2014, according to data from intermediary Greenhill Cogent. During the first half of the year, real estate fund stakes attracted average high bids of 92% of NAV, according to the data. Discounts are falling, said Fabian Neuenschwander, vice president of the real estate secondaries business at Partners Group. A lot of people are taking the opportunity to sell interests into this market. Mr. Neuenschwander added, however, that buyers can still find good deals. You re buying into improving fundamentals, he said. U.S.- and European-focused funds continue to be the most heavily traded, making up a combined 85% of the market, but Asian real estate partnerships made up 11% of activity in 2014, up from 4% a year earlier, according to Landmark s data. Partners Group struck one of the largest deals in the region when it agreed to buy the interests of more than 30 LPs in a $1 billion China-focused fund. That deal involved shifting management of the vehicle, known as the Trophy Fund, from Winnington Capital to Venator Real Estate Capital Partners, Private Equity Analyst reported at the time. The deal bought extra time for the fund, the life span of which has been extended to 2017, and provided liquidity to LPs who had yet to see any returns prior to the deal. In a first quarter briefing, Greenhill Cogent predicted that 2015 real estate secondary volume is on a trajectory to easily eclipse 2014 volume as interest in selling fund stakes continues to grow. This will likely be prompted in part by a diversification of LPs eager to cull their portfolios. Over the last two to three years, the seller base has greatly expanded from the financial crisis, said Mr. Neuenschwander. More and more people see it as an option to get liquidity.
29 Guide to the Secondary Market [ 27 ] Secondary Buyers Prepare for Wave of Energy Fund Sales By ALEC MACFARLANE A handful of fund managers are looking to raise money to buy secondhand interests in energy-focused private equity funds, as a maturing of the market and a slide in oil prices creates attractive opportunities in the sector. Fueling Up for Energy Secondaries AlpInvest Partners, Adams Street Partners and HarbourVest Partners have each launched or are in the process of launching offerings that include secondary purchases of energy funds or assets as part of their investment strategies. We do [think it is an interesting time to invest], said Brett Gordon, a managing director at HarbourVest. If you think about what makes for attractive secondaries, first you need a lot of inventory, and there s been a lot of money raised in dedicated energy funds. With that inventory and the volatility, it s really created an interesting time for people who are considering investing and for people to bring deals to the marketplace. Mr. Gordon declined to comment on HarbourVest s fundraising. AlpInvest and Adams Street also declined to comment on fundraising. Secondary investors seek to capitalize on the huge amounts of money raised over the past decade by energyfocused private equity firms. About $276 billion was raised by 417 energy-focused private equity funds between 2005 and 2014, according to data provider Preqin Ltd., creating large amounts of future inventory for secondary buyers. The recent slide in oil prices is also expected to create opportunities for secondary managers, as investors that are overexposed to energy-focused funds and have seen their valuations suffer look to shed assets as part of efforts to rebalance their portfolios. So far, however, buyers have been in a wait and see mode, according to several industry participants. We have seen an uptick in sellers asking for pricing on energy funds, but few deals are getting inked, Robert McGrath, co-founder of Torontobased intermediary Setter Capital, said in an . Research conducted earlier this year by consultancy Wood Mackenzie said lower oil prices pose the biggest threat to oil and gas industry earnings and financial solidity since the financial crash of 2008, with Brent crude trading at around 30% below the 2014 average of $99 a barrel as of early May. Industry figures said the slide is likely to have a big impact on the valuations of private equity funds heavily invested in oil and gas services businesses, as clients pressured by pricing look to cut costs and reduce services. We are also seeing sellers looking at selling generalist private equity funds that have energy exposure such as Adams Street Partners Fundraising Plans: Adams Street is marketing an energyfocused fund of funds that will also target secondary deals as part of its strategy. AlpInvest Partners Fundraising Plans: AlpInvest is targeting $500 million for an energy-focused secondary fund and aims to hold a first closing by this summer, according to people familiar with the fund. Justine Gordon, who joined the firm in September from Guggenheim Partners, leads the new effort. HarbourVest Partners Fundraising Plans: HarbourVest hired Kevin Warn Schindel from OPTrust Private Markets Group to lead its real assets program. The firm expects to launch a real assets offering later this year with a large allocation to energy secondaries, according to a person familiar with the offering. Source: Dow Jones Private Equity News Blackstone [Group] and Warburg Pincus, wrote Setter Capital s Mr. McGrath. Buyers are still very keen to buy these types of funds, and aside from marked-to-market movements in the funds public holdings, pricing remains very full. Despite the opportunity, some industry figures have cautioned that while it may be a good time to invest in energy secondary deals, it could be a challenging time to raise energy-focused secondary funds. There are definitely some attractive opportunities in the oil and gas space because of the oil price and its impact on valuations of companies and assets, which have been otherwise quite high in the last couple of years, said Thomas Liaudet, a partner at secondary intermediary Campbell Lutyens. On the other hand, it might be more challenging for those managers raising capital because some [investors] might see this space as being slightly less attractive at the moment, and also might feel they re quite overweight to energy in general, given that they have invested a lot in the space in the past few years.

30 [ 28 ] Guide to the Secondary Market Buy-Side Broker Boom Brings Risks and Rewards to Secondary Market People are being pinged with so many different ideas that they re thinking about it more often, said Mr. McGrath. Setter, which got its start primarily as a buy-side broker, helped intermediate a sale of a portfolio of fund stakes by HarbourVest Partners to Goldman Sachs Group Inc., said people familiar with that deal. These days, the firm is involved in both buy-side and sell-side activities. The large number of intermediaries out there pitching prospective deals can sometimes confuse potential buyers, said an executive at one midsize secondary buyer. By LAURA KREUTZER Secondary deal volume hit record levels in 2014 and more secondary intermediaries than ever want a piece of the action. Secondary buyers and sellers said that in recent years they have seen explosive growth in the number of buy-side brokers, or intermediaries that act as guns for hire trying to drum up deals for private equity buyers. Thanks partly to lower barriers to entry, the proliferation of such groups has presented buyers and sellers with a fresh set of opportunities and risks. Unlike sell-side intermediaries, which typically get hired and compensated by sellers in a secondary transaction, buyside brokers tend to operate more like free agents. They may approach buyers to gauge their interest in specific fund names and then reach out to investors they know that have backed those funds to see if they are willing to sell. Firms such as Setter Capital, River Street Capital and Scalar Capital have engaged in buy-side broker activities. Some traditional sell-side brokers or advisers have brokered buy-side deals or are considering doing so. Setter said more than 300 individual agents have registered with the firm s SecondaryLink website, an online platform connecting potential buyers and sellers. Growth in the intermediary industry, including that of buyers brokers, has helped drive more secondary deal flow, said Peter McGrath, co-founder of Setter. The Toronto firm estimates about 57% of all secondary deal flow, which includes private equity, hedge funds, real estate and natural resource plays, that took place in 2014 involved an intermediary of some kind, according to the firm s midyear secondary deal report. We ll get calls from four or five different buy-side brokers telling me that they have an exclusive relationship with a seller, and often they obscure what the interests are, so I can t piece together that it s the exact same portfolio that another buy-side broker pitched me, this executive said. I may be talking to four buy-side brokers bidding against myself and have all four of them telling me that I owe them. The number of brokers pitching deals can also present complications for sellers, according to Benoît Verbrugghe, who heads the U.S. operations for French firm Ardian. If the seller gives the same portfolio to too many brokers, the process could be difficult to manage, said Mr. Verbrugghe. In the end, you still have to manage confidentiality and information about the funds and the GPs, so you need to make sure this type of approach is well managed. Buyers and sellers aren t the only ones taking risks, however. Newer buy-side brokers also can find themselves at the mercy of less scrupulous sellers, particularly if they don t negotiate a contract upfront. You definitely have more risk there because you don t have anyone that s mandated you, said Mr. McGrath. You run the risk of making nothing at the end of the day, even if you do connect the dots. Mr. McGrath added that as the market continues to mature, it will differentiate between established players and less experienced ones. A senior executive at one large secondary buyer said the recent growth of buy-side intermediaries has been driven in large part by ebullient returns from underlying private equity portfolios, which will not continue indefinitely. When there s a downturn, no one will return their phone calls and many of these guys will go away, the senior executive said.
31 Guide to the Secondary Market [ 29 ] Secondary Market Offers Seed Funds an Exit Option but Few May Use It By YULIYA CHERNOVA Seed-stage investors have long wrestled over when they should cash out of their positions in the start-ups they back, and secondary transactions in high-valuation private rounds now offer them potentially lucrative exit options. But it remains to be seen how many seed-stage fund managers will take advantage of them. Startups that got to late-stage rounds were showered by sizable capital investments at high valuations last year, and the deals only got larger in the beginning of In the first quarter of 2015, for example, the median amount invested in second venture capital rounds jumped 48% from a year ago, according to data provider Dow Jones VentureSource. Second round valuations in 2014 jumped about 44% over 2013 figures, and late-stage valuations doubled. This puts pressure on seed funds, which are often less than $100 million in size and are at risk of dilution as rounds get larger. At the same time, it s becoming increasingly acceptable for employees, founders and early investors to sell some of their shares in a late-stage round. These large late-stage rounds have taken the place of the IPO, and as such, I think there s an opportunity for seed funds to be selling part of their ownership, said Chris Douvos, managing director at fund-of-funds manager Venture Investment Associates. Today, the opportunity to sell in these later-stage rounds is another arrow in the quiver of the seed funds in terms of generating returns [and] returning cash to their limited partners. Mr. Douvos said the secondary market has become a portfolio management tool for seed funds and that some of the funds in which his firm is a limited partner have lightened up their positions in the highfliers. It s something that s going on, not with great frequency, but at the same time, it s an increasingly important part for people s liquidity strategy, Mr. Douvos said. The proportion of secondary sales volume done by investors rather than employees is hovering at low-single-digit percentages on SecondMarket, a platform that facilitates large secondary transactions, according to Anil Sharma, spokesman for the company. SecondMarket Holdings Inc. facilitated about $1.4 billion in secondary transactions last year, with most of the shares being sold by startup employees. Seed funds can see nice upticks in paper valuations as latestage rounds get done at stratospheric valuations. Those that hold onto shares hope that future rounds or initial public offerings would increase the value of their shares even more. But there are many reasons to sell at least some of the shares now, Mr. Kim said. On the one hand, it s unclear when some companies plan to reach an exit. There s more talk in the market about staying private longer or even indefinitely, raising questions as to when seed investors would see a return if they don t cash out in private rounds. The median time it took venture-backed companies to go from an initial venture capital round to IPO was 6.94 years in 2014, compared to just 5.6 years in 2005, according to Dow Jones VentureSource. Private companies that reached a valuation of greater than $1 billion in their most recent private rounds are even older than those that went public. The median time frame between this group s initial venture round and valuations topping the $1 billion mark hit 7.7 years as of April 1, according to Dow Jones VentureSource. As timelines stretch, seed investors risk both greater dilution and getting caught in a valuation downdraft if markets shift before they can exit. Mr. Douvos said that even as fund managers consider secondaries, they should keep in mind that a downturn in the market will reset the clock. In the fullness of time, everyone will be judged on the capital that they returned. There were a lot of high-flying venture firms during the bubble that had incredible paper positions that evaporated, Mr. Douvos said. Michael Kim, managing partner at Cendana Capital, a fund of seed funds, said he advises all of the fund managers in his portfolio to consider participating in secondary transactions. Mr. Kim said, however, that he sees more resistance than willingness on the part of seed funds to cash out early. There s some greed involved, Mr. Kim said. He added that he d like to see more secondary transactions. I think it s important for them to monetize and get some cash back to LPs. It hasn t happened as much as I thought it would, Mr. Kim said.
32 [ 30 ] Guide to the Secondary Market Secondary Funds Continue to Reap Rewards of Strong Exit Market For the private equity industry as a whole, disposals continued to dominate the headlines this past year, with firms posting a record $ billion in exits in 2014, compared with $ billion for the prior year, according to data provider Dealogic Ltd. Dealogic data includes only exits via mergers and acquisitions and not initial public offerings, and the total value includes only those with publicly disclosed financial terms. Meanwhile, secondary deal volume hit record levels, reaching $35.14 billion last year, according to secondary firm Lexington Partners, up from $23.35 billion the year before. By DAVID SMAGALLA Private equity firms generated record-setting exits in 2014 and secondary firms reaped the rewards, returning an increased volume of cash to investors over the past year, according to a sample of private equity performance data from several large pension funds. Various private equity strategies performed particularly well during 2014, according to industry performance benchmarks published by consultant Cambridge Associates. U.S. private equity funds benchmark return reached 18.09% for the one-year period ended Sept. 30, 2014, compared with 18.51% for U.S. buyout and growth equity funds and 24.46% for U.S. venture funds, which both went on an exit tear this last year. Secondary vehicles, though strong, still lagged their private equity brethren, providing a benchmark return of 14.7% for the one-year period.

33 Guide to the Secondary Market [ 31 ] Funds raised during the end of the last private equity boom period were some of the best at pumping out cash to their investors in One caveat to this report, which looks at a small number of secondary fund holdings from the 2002-vintage year forward, is that our sample is too small to draw any definitive conclusions about the state of the secondary market and doesn t include many smaller secondary funds, which typically don t receive capital from large public pension funds. Coller International Partners V LP, which closed in 2007 at $4.8 billion, continued to show its strength, returning $114.9 million on a $375 million commitment from the California Public Employees Retirement System for the year ended Sept. 30, 2014, according to a private equity performance report. Coller Capital has been busy over the past few years, scooping up various portfolios from banks and others looking to dispose of their private equity holdings, including most recently buying a portfolio of private equity fund stakes from Fleming Family & Partners, the manager that invests on behalf of the family of James Bond author Ian Fleming and other wealthy individuals. Another fund returning a substantial amount of money to investors was NB Secondary Opportunities Fund II LP, a 2007-vintage fund that closed on $1.7 billion. The fund returned $32.5 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014, to the New Jersey State Investment Council on a commitment of $100 million.

35 Guide to the Secondary Market [ 33 ] Sponsored Article The Rise of Real Estate Secondaries By ANDREI BROUGHAM of Greenhill Cogent Until recently, stakes in buyout funds accounted for the majority of funds sold in the secondary market. Although still an important source of supply today, the prevalence of buyout funds which now represent just under half of all secondary sales by number has given way to other private equity strategies. As a result, limited partners now have the opportunity to use the market to provide liquidity for any part of their alternative asset portfolios. This was demonstrated in 2014 by a dramatic surge in real estate secondaries. Historically hampered by a small buyer universe and weak pricing, the secondary market for real estate funds used to be very thin. As recently as 2010, average pricing for such funds was less than 50% of net asset value, and many real estate funds marketed failed to receive bids, resulting in dwindling volumes. By 2014, the transaction volume of real estate secondaries surged to $4 billion globally, the highest level ever recorded. Even more striking, LPs were able to fetch a whopping 90% of NAV on average for their real estate portfolios, also a record. What explains this dramatic rise in volume and pricing for what was until recently considered a niche segment? Firstly, there has been a sharp influx of real estate buyers over the past four years, as investors have been drawn to the sector not just to diversify away from large-cap buyouts, but also to gain exposure to a fast-growing sector of alternatives. Secondly, because of the health of the commercial real estate market and a strengthening overall economy, real estate valuations have rebounded sharply since the financial crisis. According to data provider Preqin Ltd., real estate assets under management reached a record $742 billion as of 2014, and real estate funds saw an average increase in NAV for 17 straight quarters to June Real estate funds generated annualized returns of 16.7% over the past three years, with 93% of institutional investors stating that fund performance has met or exceeded expectations. As a result of the continued strong performance of real estate funds, the market for real estate secondaries is the deepest it has ever been. Specialized real estate investors and dedicated real estate secondary funds remain the most active buyers in the sector, and their number and fund sizes have continued to swell. Some of the larger groups have seen commitments to their funds nearly double in the past few years, and today these buyers collectively command about $7 billion in dry powder dedicated to real estate secondaries. Not captured by this figure, however, are the many funds of funds and typical LPs such as family offices and endowments who also have entered the market as serious buyers. The upshot of more buyers in the market has been record pricing. More than 50% of real estate funds transacted in 2014 attracted bids at 90% of NAV or higher, and 95% received bids at 80% of NAV or higher. The increasing number of buyers alone has raised competition within the asset class, but more importantly, the sector expertise introduced by specialized buyers has elevated the market s underwriting capabilities and narrowed previously wide bidask spreads. Specialized real estate investors remain the dominant buyer group in the market and have proven themselves willing to pay up for diversified real estate portfolios. As the market matures, newer entrants such as funds of funds and typical LPs are expected to begin competing more aggressively, as they benefit from a lower cost of capital and unique insight into funds and underlying assets. The composition of the market for real estate secondaries closely mirrors the primary fundraising market. Three-fifths of the real estate funds sold in the secondary market invest in North America, a third in Europe and the remainder in Asia and the rest of the world. Opportunistic and valueadded real estate funds are dominant, and each account for one-third of the total market supply. General partner-led transactions (such as fund recapitalizations) have become common place in the buyout space and eventually are expected to become more widely adopted by real estate managers looking to expand their time horizons or maximize the value of older funds. The rise of the secondary market has equipped LPs with a powerful liquidity tool that now encompasses all alternative asset fund strategies. The tremendous growth of real estate secondaries over the past few years is a testament to that. A burgeoning buyside with sector-specific expertise has brought increased competition, fresh dry powder and strong pricing to a previously illiquid alternatives strategy. Similar developments are taking place in other alternative asset strategies such as energy, infrastructure, credit and funds of funds, and the secondary market is primed to become even more diverse over time.
