Beyond the Exit: The Rise of Private Equity Secondaries

Exclusive Fireside Chat with Kutty Dutta, Head of Private Markets, HSBC

What happens when billions are locked in private equity, but investors need liquidity?

As traditional exit routes become increasingly challenging, private equity secondaries are transforming how institutional investors unlock capital, navigate valuations, and capture new investment opportunities.

Join the London Business School Investment Management Club for an exclusive fireside chat with Kutty Dutta, Head of Private Markets at HSBC, as we explore one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving segments of alternative investments.

What we'll uncover:

• The Secondaries Revolution: Why GP-led and LP-led transactions, continuation vehicles, and innovative liquidity solutions are reshaping private equity.

• Behind the Investment Decision: How institutional investors assess valuations, price discounts to NAV, and underwrite returns in complex market environments.

• The Institutional Investor's Playbook: How sophisticated investors construct portfolios across primary funds, co-investments, and secondaries.

• The Road Ahead: Where opportunities and risks are emerging in private markets, and what the evolving landscape means for future investment professionals.

Gain insights from a senior HSBC investment leader, hear an institutional perspective on navigating private markets, and bring your questions to an interactive audience Q&A.
