Panellist

Founded by Antoine Drean, a private markets pioneer and founder of Triago in 1992 (sold to Houlihan Lokey in 2024), Palico reflects over three decades of experience in capital formation and secondary markets.

Independently owned by Antoine and a group of ultra-high-net-worth investors, Palico is built for long-term alignment and market neutrality.

Since inception, over $3B of private capital fund interests have been listed on Palico, including $1B in 2025 alone, reflecting accelerating adoption across the secondary market.

Palico is a regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS) that provides a secure and neutral infrastructure for private capital fund secondaries. LPs can discreetly buy and sell small or large fund positions, connect directly with qualified counterparties, and execute transactions securely end-to-end.
