Buyout firms are leaning more heavily than ever on continuation funds<\/strong> as traditional exits via IPOs or sales to outside buyers dry up<\/a>, the Financial Times<\/a> reports. Continuation funds accounted for USD 41 bn of exits in 1H 2025 \u2014 equal to 19% of all private equity sales, and 60% more than the same period last year, the FT reports, citing a recent report from investment bank Jefferies. <\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a record share as sponsors struggle to return capital to investors<\/strong> amid a prolonged slowdown in public listings and M&A agreements. The secondary market \u2014 where buyout firms and institutional investors can trade stakes \u2014 has also seen a boom in activity, with over USD 100 bn of holdings changing hands. <\/p>\n

How it works:<\/strong> The continuation mechanism essentially allows the firm to sell portfolio companies to themselves by transferring it to another of its internal funds. Investors can either cashout or roll over into the new vehicle. In theory, that gives buyers and sellers more time to realize value. In practice, it\u2019s also a way to recycle capital and keep fee streams alive. <\/p>\n

PE groups are holding upwards of USD 3 tn in unsold assets <\/strong>and are approaching a fourth year of subpar distributions to investors. \u201cThe exit environments are challenging and the IPO market is dormant,\u201d Jefferies global co-head of secondaries Todd Miller told the Financial Times. <\/p>\n

Despite the boom, continuation funds are not the preferred route for PE investors<\/strong>, with just one-sixth preferring continuation funds over traditional exits and nearly two-thirds saying they\u2019d rather see sponsors sell via IPOs or M&A, according to a Bain & Co survey.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s here to stay: <\/strong>Jefferies\u2019 global co-head of secondary advisory Scott Beck expects \u201cmost sponsors will plan to do one or two\u201d continuation funds out of every new fund, calling them a \u201cbona fide exit route.\u201d <\/p>\n
