Engineering Liquidity: Secondaries in 2026

Spreading out: Private credit’s next growth wave

March 2026 | In a volatile world, secondaries are an instrument of control. They allow investors and managers to exploit, rather than be governed by, the liquidity dynamics of private markets. This report, produced by Private Equity Wire® in partnership with SS&C, investigates the engineering behind liquidity – from high-level growth drivers to the finer details of operational sophistication in a rapidly expanding global secondaries market.

All Private Equity Wire Summits and Webinars are CPD accredited, so you can learn, network and develop new skills.
