Amid pressure on corporate earnings, escalating global trade tensions, and a fraught exit environment, private markets and hedge funds are navigating a challenging investment landscape. 

A spotlight on secondaries and co-investments

Join us, May 20, for an in-depth exploration of the strategies, approaches, and conditions shaping private markets and hedge funds in 2025.

In this session, Mercer’s Alternatives specialists will provide a deep dive on secondaries and co-investments, exploring their potential, particularly in volatile market conditions. Learn how these investment strategies can seek to yield higher returns, mitigate the J-curve effect, and may reduce blind pool risk.
