Join Convergence for a webinar exploring the role of public finance in strengthening secondary markets and deepening liquidity in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs).
Deal sponsors and fund managers in EMDEs typically face lengthy fundraising timelines, partially attributed to the lack of credible exit routes and undercapitalized secondary markets.
Building on the recent report, Secondary Market Vehicles in EMDEs: Lessons and Implications for Development Actors, authored by ThirdWay Partners and supported by MOBILIST and BII, this webinar will examine the current state of secondary markets and the actions required from the public and philanthropic actors to effectively deepen liquidity in EMDEs and enhance private capital inflows.
The session will feature a presentation of key report findings, followed by a panel discussion with industry experts and market participants.
Speakers:
- Aly Breedlove, Managing Director, ThirdWay Partners
- Victor Piermont, Investment Manager, Octobre
- Martin Diaz Plata, Global Head of Private Equity, BlueOrchard
- Aakif Merchant, Director and Head of Africa, Convergence (Moderator)
