Cadwalader is proud to be a Diamond Sponsor of the 14th Annual Global Fund Finance Symposium, which is just weeks away! The event takes place February 24-27 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
With just over two weeks to go until the global fund finance community gathers in Miami, the time seems apt to revisit some topics that bankers and attorneys encounter in some commonly seen non-US fund finance jurisdictions.
Global secondaries volume increased 45% to reach a record $162 billion in 2024, according to the latest edition of Jefferies’ Global Secondary Market Review. Both LP and GP-led transactions experienced double-digit growth. LP transactions accelerated as investors rebalanced private asset allocations, worked around slower distributions, took advantage of a narrower bid-ask pricing gap, and saw rising demand from evergreen vehicles. On the GP-led side, continuation vehicle transactions powered much of the growth. The full report is available here.
We had a fantastic time at The Future of Fund Finance | Europe at The Landmark Hotel in London. As a lead sponsor, Cadwalader was proud to support this premier event and have Partners George Pelling and Nick Shiren share their insights on key industry trends.
Although the fund finance market has been around a long time, it has undergone significant transformation. On 28 January 2025, the LMA held its first fund finance focused conference (in partnership with DealCatalyst) and explored the future of this dynamic market. Read on to learn more about the key innovations and outlook discussed.
James Strode, publisher of the Global Legal Insights – Fund Finance, chats with Terry Hatton of MUFG about the year ahead for the fund finance market, as well as the Fund Finance Association.

This week, Cadwalader Special Counsel Katie McShane and Associate Fiona Cheng hosted a “Galentine’s” wine tasting at Parcelle Chinatown.
Christine Collado, sommelier, led an introduction on the sparkling wine of the evening before diving into small-group, informal discussions with the guests and leading them through a carefully curated wine list.
Thank you to the attendees for being our Galentine's this year and we hope to see more of you at the next!
