What happens when investors suddenly find themselves holding far more illiquid assets than they ever planned? 

Join us as we speak to James Fermont (Partner and senior member of LCP’s  Illiquid Asset Solutions Group) to explore how to unlock value in secondary market transactions. From liquidity workarounds to broker-led sales, online platforms and direct deals, we examine the practical routes to exit illiquids, how to judge value in an opaque market, and why pricing isn’t always the only metric that matters. For anyone navigating today’s secondary market – whether selling under time pressure or looking to buy quality assets at a discount – this conversation offers a clear, grounded guide through a fast-evolving landscape.
