• In October 2024, the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of Carmignac Private Evergreen (EUR A) increased by +1.3%. This performance was mainly driven by the portfolio appreciation of transactions Volt and Luigi, following NAV revaluation as of September marks. The rest of portfolio the is still largely based on underlying valuations as of June.• Project Volt: Direct co-investment in Sureserve Group, a leading UK energy transition and gas compliance provider for social housing. Continuous strong performance since investment with EBITDA experiencing more than 140% growth in 18 months through historical core business (+40%) and 3 add-on acquisitions (+60%). Significant progress made across multiple areas, notably: leadership team, digitalization, re-branding, synergies, trading performance. Consistent positive revaluation: Q3-24 marks at 2.3x cost.
Investment Strategy: Focused on Secondaries, Carmignac Private Evergreen allows us to offer a one-stop-shop Private Equity solution for investors looking to build a diversified exposure to high quality buyout companies from Day 1. Our target allocation includes a focus on Secondaries through co-investments featuring attractive terms, while investing opportunistically in high-conviction direct co-investments to generate alpha. Primary investments will be considered later on in the Fund’s life. Secondaries offer an attractive risk-return profile, thanks to the possibility to negotiate favourable terms and structuring such as discounts and deferred payments and offers numerous benefits such as a reduced J-curve effect and blind-pool risk. It is a unique asset class with low correlation with both public and other private market strategies, which reiterates the complementarity of public and private strategies within an investment portfolio.
Outlook: Today our portfolio offers exposure to >230 companies, highly diversified across sectors, geographies and vintages, while still maintaining a focus on developed markets and private equity buyouts. We continue to see high-quality deal flow and expect to close at least one more deal by December. As the Fund is still in its ramp-up phase, the liquid sleeve of the portfolio is much larger than its intended allocation. We expect this to normalize by end-2025. Of note, the liquid sleeve is actively managed and invested in a curated range of Carmignac’s fixed income and credit funds on a no fee basis.
Marktomgeving
Private Wealth market: A significant market representing c.$200tn assets globally according to BNP Paribas, with allocation to private markets standing at <3% for private investors vs. c.14% for institutional investors (Bain PE Report '23), indicating significant white space for further private market exposure for the former. Semi-liquid funds have demonstrated strong uptake over the past few years, and is estimated to represent c.$400bn globally to date according to iCapital.
Secondaries deal volume: The Secondary market delivered strong results in H1 2024, with total transaction volume at $72bn, setting a new record for H1 deal volumes. LP-led deals represented 57% of H1 2024 transactions (GP-leds: 43%), with LP-led deals seeing continued momentum driven by liquidity needs. Optimistic outlook for H2 2024 volumes given expected higher transaction volumes typically observed in the second half of the year.
Secondaries pricing: Pricing of LP-led Secondary deals is on the high side, underscoring the need to be disciplined and offer other non-price attributes such as speed and reliability of deal execution and deal structuring to remain competitive. Convergence of bid-ask spreads seems to increase driven by favourable investor sentiment according to Evercore.
