Why Now
Stableton has used recent technology and market changes to create a new systematic approach for private market investments. This became possible just now.
- The market depth of the secondary market increased to $138 billion, making large privately held unicorns more liquid.
- Multiple new data providers emerged, including Morningstar providing data on 1,300+ unicorns with its newly launched index series since November 2022.
- Through its transaction expertise, Stableton is in a prime position to execute this strategy, with a track record of 90+ transactions.
Strategy Supported by Megatrends & Momentum
Private for Longer
Value creation continues to shift towards private markets, as companies choose to remain private for longer. Pre-IPO returns have often been much higher than post-IPO returns.
Convergence
Private market valuations show a significant spread to the public market. Trends now indicate that the valuation spread is starting to converge.
IPO Momentum
With the IPO window re-opening, private tech unicorns are catching up to their public peers. This presents a prime entry opportunity.
Valuation Spread Converging
Private market valuations have had a large spread compared to public markets, but recent trends show this gap is closing.
