Secondary purchases allow the fund to buy seasoned, largely funded portfolios — often at a discount to net asset value — which is intended to mitigate the J-curve and blind-pool risk of primary private equity investing. The early but strong track record should be weighed against the high all-in cost load and the quarterly redemption gate.
