And whisper it quietly, but the IPO markets are also beginning to thaw out. GPs have listened to investors and sought ways to increase distributions, with secondary deal volumes forecast to end the year between $150 and $175 billion. That alone is worth carol singing about. And then there’s the gift that keeps on giving: private markets democratization. Throughout the year, GPs have continued to innovate their product offerings and build key strategic relationships with private banks and wealth managers. LPs will be wishing on a star that private markets participants can tap in to their creativity and drive further value creation in their portfolios, as 2025 approaches. Here’s hoping that 2025 brings everyone with the IPEM Community plenty of good fortune and reason to cheer. We hope you all have wonderful Holidays with your families. But don’t get too comfortable sat by the fire. IPEM Cannes | Wealth will soon be upon us!
