PEI Group rolls out PEI Secondaries Investor intelligence platform as fundraising hits $52.5bn in H1

LONDON, 27 August 2026 — PEI Group, the primary source of vital intelligence for private markets, has today unveiled PEI Secondaries Investor, a new integrated global intelligence platform built specifically for investors, secondaries managers, private markets GPs and advisers operating in the fast-paced secondaries market.

The secondaries market has continued its strong momentum with $52.5 billion raised via final closes in the first half of the year, marking the second strongest first six months across a six-year period. That’s off the back of a record-breaking 2025 with $154.8 billion raised and the market surpassing over $200 billion of transaction volume for the first time.

As the market continues to accelerate across transaction types and diversifies its reach across asset classes, the need for specialised intelligence only grows.

Monitoring the market, benchmarking pricing and performance, and identifying the right opportunities have never been more complex or time sensitive.

PEI Secondaries Investor offers a new intuitive user design to support decision-making and relationship-building activities, bringing data and research, editorial insight and context, and the ability to make connections together into one integrated membership platform.

This includes:

• A database covering the active players in the secondaries market
• Daily analysis of transactions and market developments from PEI Group’s editorial team, which has been reporting on the market for more than a decade
• Proprietary research capturing investor sentiment, allocation plans and secondaries market outlook, with over 9,600+ commitments
• The ability to track continuation vehicle transactions with PEI’s CV Deal Log – the most well-regarded record of its kind
• Ask PEI, an AI assistant that enhances discovery and speeds up time to insight

PEI’s flagship event NEXUS, next March in Scottsdale, will bring the industry together for the fourth year. PEI Secondaries Investor platform members are eligible for savings when they attend the event to learn, connect and engage.

Commenting on the platform launch, Edouard Tavernier, CEO of PEI Group, said:

“We’ve built PEI Secondaries Investor to deliver investors, secondaries managers, private markets GPs and advisers a critical source of forward-looking intelligence.

“This will give them an edge in this fast-growing and increasingly complex market, in which we have over a decade of experience, and which last year saw a record $155 billion raised by secondaries funds.”
