ADDX, a digital wealth platform based in Singapore, has partnered with Franklin Templeton and Lexington Partners to make private equity secondaries more accessible to individual accredited investors in Singapore. Through the partnership, ADDX will offer access to a globally diversified secondaries strategy, designed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation and exposure to growth-oriented private market opportunities.
Private equity secondaries investing typically involves acquiring existing interests in mature, closed-ended funds. These limited partner-led (LP-led) secondaries often enjoy potential benefits ranging from greater transparency into underlying assets to the potential for earlier liquidity, compared to primary fund investments. In recent years, general partner-led (GP-led) strategies have also gained prominence, providing GPs with tools to extend ownership of high-quality assets while offering optional liquidity to existing investors.
Private equity secondaries are often associated with reduced blind pool risk, as capital is invested into more seasoned portfolios. This segment of private equity has grown significantly in recent years, driven by increasing demand for flexible liquidity solutions and more dynamic capital management.
