Interesting post from Joanna Glanser at PEHUB about the number of private equity partnership shares trading hands. From the brief article:
The forecast released this week by secondary market maker NYPPEX predicts that sales of limited partner stakes in private equity partnerships will soar by 68% to $27 billion in 2009.This highlights the stratosphere of markets that can and should exist to enhance market efficiency - allows one owner take possession of an asset that another is no longer willing or able to hold. Fred Wilson touched on that during his panel discussion at a recent conference. Marketplaces such as SecondMarket should exist to provide an exchange mechanism.
