Asia Pacific liquidity challenges
Unlocking value from illiquid Asia Pacific investments
Asia-Pacific private credit and private equity have scaled rapidly, but liquidity, manager performance and fund timelines have not kept pace. Holders are increasingly left with positions they can neither exit nor actively manage.
Significant exit pressures
Bain & Company reported that in 2025, the number of APAC portfolio companies held for more than five years increased 18% vs. 2024, and the average age of current holdings rose from 3.7 years to 4.0 years.
Legacy investments are underperforming
Research also suggests that more than one-third of investments made during the 2020–2022 period were underperforming, based on its survey.
Fundraising is constrained
APAC private equity fundraising fell to a 12-year low of US$58bn in 2025, excluding RMB-denominated vehicles, and APAC's share of global fundraising slipped to 5%.
Slower distributions
PitchBook reported that APAC PE's 12-month distribution yield recovered from a trough of over 13% in mid-2025 to 18.5% by end-2025, but remained below the long-run average.
Structural funding gaps
Banks account for roughly 79% of APAC credit supply, compared with 33% in the US and 56% in Europe, limiting potential exit avenues.

Value dislocation
Holders of stranded assets have alternative solutions
Delayed exits
Primary exit method realisations are pushed out well beyond the original investment horizon, and creative solutions are required to engineer nearer term liquidity.
Eroded confidence
Broken economics, team departures, unrealistic assumptions or persistent underperformance at the General Partner have undermined investor confidence.
Distressed assets
Underlying portfolio companies are financially stressed beyond the portfolio company C-suite or Manager's skill set, requiring experienced workout practitioners.
End-of-life funds
Limited Partners expect vehicles to be wound up. A misalignment exists as valuable positions remain unrealised.
As DPI realisation stalls across private markets, ADM Capital and Trident have built a solutions-oriented service that fast-tracks exits without forcing deep discounts or leaving value on the table.
