The London IPO drought is more than a headline it’s a structural market signal.
With only seven IPOs year-to-date on the London Stock Exchange, compared to over 230 in the US, the implications are clear:
the traditional path to liquidity is narrowing, and capital is moving elsewhere.
For fund managers, this isn’t a temporary slowdown.
It’s a reason to revisit portfolio strategy, exit optionality, and how to maintain alpha in increasingly illiquid environments.
The Financial Times reports that UK policymakers are now scrambling to reform listing requirements and unlock pension capital to revive the market.
As public options diminish, fund managers are reallocating toward late-stage private companies, direct secondaries, and structured equity. In this shift, private markets aren’t just an alternative they’re becoming the default.
With IPOs stalling, platforms like DealPotential help investors move earlier in the lifecycle:
before the fundraise, before the exit, before the crowd.
Predictive signals, co-investor visibility, and liquidity horizon insights become critical in navigating a post-IPO environment.
This isn’t just about London.
It’s a global trend. And investors who adapt now with tools that surface under-the-radar opportunities, forecast exit paths, and contextualize capital needs will have the edge.
As McKinsey notes, private capital now rivals public markets in scale. But the winners will be those who see what others miss and act before the deal is public.
Private credit and NAV lending aren’t replacements for secondaries.
They’re complements. Together, they create a liquidity framework that gives investors and managers more choices, fewer trade-offs, and greater strategic control.
In 2025, the firms who master all three dimensions credit, NAV, and secondaries will lead the next evolution in private market investing.
It’s not about exits. It’s about staying in control.
