SecLink Podcast: Women of Secondaries with Ares’ Kathryn Regan

Brokers and buyers have been taken by surprise by the increase in LP portfolio prices since the beginning of 2024, Kathryn Regan, Partner in the Ares Secondaries Group, tells podcast host Kristina Kulikova.

In this episode of Women of Secondaries, Regan discusses her outlook on the exit environment and its impact on pricing and addresses the information asymmetries in the secondary market.

While the lack of pricing transparency is not a driver of arbitrage, transparency can make processes more efficient for buyers and help in the market’s overall growth, Regan says. She also shares her estimates for secondary market volume growth in 2024 and the factors that will drive its robust expansion.
