Summary
Private Equity News, a Dow Jones publication, published a call for nominations on September 30, 2025, for its Twenty Most Influential in Secondaries 2026 list. The list is the second annual edition, following the inaugural ranking. The publication is seeking senior leaders in the private equity secondaries market, with nominations accepted for professionals across investing, fundraising, advisory, and related functions.

Nominations must be submitted through a designated nomination form and returned to [email protected] by close of business on 24 October. The announcement is a solicitation rather than a report on market activity, and it does not name specific honorees or disclose selection criteria beyond the functional areas covered.

The publisher's secondaries coverage page surfaces related material, including a "Next Gen Leaders of Secondaries: Class of 2026" feature that lists professionals such as Gage Alpert, executive director at UBS, and Richie Bohny, principal at Carlyle AlpInvest. The same section hosts explainers on the secondary market, including LP-led and GP-led strategies, continuation vehicles, and the use of secondaries to diversify across vintage years, sectors, geographies, and general partners.
