Up to $100BN of illiquid hedge fund investments yet to be sold or liquidated

During the GAIM USA secondary panel discussion, the panel was asked to comment on the size of the secondary market of hedge funds and the amount of illiquid hedge fund assets still outstanding. Estimates ranged from $40BN to $100BN of illiquid hedge fund investments yet to be sold or liquidated. As the most liquid assets have been sold and cash returned by hedge funds, the remaining side pocket assets will take longer to liquidate, prompting more investors to turn to the secondary market.
