INVL Family Office, one of the largest multi-family offices in the Baltics, launched a Global PE Secondaries Access Fund targeting the private equity secondary market, which reached $162 billion in transaction volume last year. The fund opens retail and institutional access to a market traditionally reserved for institutional buyers, entering as secondary pricing normalizes after two years of valuation compression.
The secondaries market has matured from a distressed-sale mechanism into a liquidity management tool for limited partners rebalancing portfolios. Transaction volume climbed from $108 billion in 2022 to $162 billion in 2025, approaching the $170 billion peak in 2021 before the rate cycle turned. Pricing has stabilized near 88-92% of net asset value across most vintages, up from discounts exceeding 20% in late 2022 and early 2023. INVL's entry coincides with a shift in seller composition—voluntary rebalancing now represents 64% of secondary sales, versus 41% two years ago when regulatory capital requirements and liquidity stress dominated flows.
The fund's structure matters for two reasons. First, it democratizes access to a market where ticket sizes typically start at $25 million and average buyers deploy $400 million annually. Multi-family offices with $200-800 million in AUM rarely maintain dedicated secondary buying programs; INVL is pooling capital to achieve institutional scale. Second, the timing captures a structural repricing. Private equity marks lagged public comparables by 18-24 months during the 2022-2023 drawdown. Secondaries traded at steep discounts as sellers accepted haircuts to exit. Now marks have reset, distributions are resuming, and secondary pricing reflects fair value rather than forced liquidation. The spread between primary fund commitments and secondary purchases has compressed to 4-6%, down from 12-18% in 2023, making secondaries a neutral or mildly accretive entry point rather than a distressed bet.
INVL operates €1.4 billion in assets under management across the Baltics, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The family office segment manages €240 million for 87 families, mostly first- and second-generation wealth from real estate, logistics, and financial services. The secondaries fund extends a three-year pattern: INVL entered direct private equity in 2021, real estate debt in 2023, and now secondaries in 2025. Each fund launched as the prior vintage reached 65-75% deployed capital, suggesting a disciplined cadence rather than opportunistic timing. The secondaries vehicle will target $50-150 million in commitments, focused on buyout and growth equity funds with vintages between 2017 and 2022, the cohorts now reaching J-curve inflection and facing LP portfolio concentration.
Allocators should monitor three sequences. First, GP-led secondary volume—continuation funds and single-asset transactions—now represents 42% of secondary deal flow, up from 28% in 2020. These structures extend hold periods for winning assets but concentrate LP exposure. Second, fundraising for dedicated secondary funds reached $48 billion in 2024, the highest in four years, signaling institutional buyers expect sustained supply. Third, regulatory shifts in Europe's alternative investment fund directive revisions, expected final text in Q4 2025, may impose liquidity reserve requirements on private equity funds, which would increase secondary supply structurally. INVL's fund launch suggests smaller buyers are positioning for a multi-year cycle, not a one-year dislocation.
The Baltic multi-family office now competes with 19 dedicated secondaries funds that closed in the past 18 months, raising a combined $63 billion. INVL's edge is not sourcing or pricing—it is access for a client base that lacks scale to negotiate institutional allocations.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.
