We had the pleasure of participating in an intense and insightful IPEM LP Congress, last Wednesday in Paris.   Key themes discussed included: 🔸Distribution remains a top priority for LPs 🔸The rise of evergreen funds and implications 🔸Private credit continues its expanding trajectory 🔸The secondaries market continues its growth pace 🔸AI real application in the private markets space (LPs and GPs)   David Wachter shared some eye-opening stats which showed the current ‘exit situation’ and how GP led secondaries and specifically ‘direct secondaries’ can help address: 🔹~29,000 PE-backed companies vs. ~1,400 exits annually - highlighting the scale of the challenge 🔹DPI for mid-life funds has slowed down significantly, as exits lag 🔹These funds also hold less dry powder than before 🔹While PE exits remain steady in absolute terms, they’re at a record low, as a percentage of PE NAV   The takeaway? Number of private companies continue to grow and are being held longer while LPs need more distribution: ‘direct secondaries’ is one tool readily available to help GPs.   Thanks to all the speakers and peers for the rich discussions and forward-thinking perspectives.   #IPEM2025 #AXAIMPrime #PrivateMarkets #PrivateEquity #Secondaries
