LONDON and NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The private equity secondaries market is experiencing explosive growth, with global transaction volume and unrealized value at all-time highs. Navatar today announces record adoption of its next-generation, AI-powered CRM platform, purpose-built to help GPs, LPs, and advisors overcome the new complexities of cross-border secondaries, multi-fund baskets, and investor transparency.
Recent Preqin researchreveals unrealized value in private equity reached 77% of AUM at the end of last year, locking up a staggering $9 trillion across nearly 250,000 companies. Amid this "exit overhang," investor liquidity needs have driven secondaries from niche strategy to a mainstream pillar of portfolio management.
Deal activity reflects the market's transformation. Jefferies reports secondaries transactions hit $103 billion in H1 2025, shattering prior records, while dedicated capital rose to $302 billion, powered by heightened institutional and retail participation.

In this environment, competitive advantage depends on how well firms can capture and connect the intelligence they gather on funds, LPs, and GPs. That intelligence is what allows firms to source the right opportunities, move quickly, and execute with confidence to deliver the best outcomes. Yet most of this knowledge is trapped in emails, conversations or various platforms.
Navatar solves this by automatically capturing and structuring activity from emails, call notes, LinkedIn, Slack, documents, public domain and third-party data-including relevant benchmarks, market comps, and triggers from the public internet-turning your team's daily activity into structured, usable intelligence for AI to operate on.
