GP-led transactions involving single assets or portfolios are not just for troubled funds. Alternative investment managers with some of the most sought-after assets in sectors such as health care and software are recapitalizing on the secondary markets to give them more time and capital to accelerate growth of the portfolio companies in the funds, industry experts say.
