Palico Positions for the Next Phase of LP-Led Secondaries, With Pricing and Tools Built for Scale

Published

A new pricing model built for larger transactions, along with Palico’s price indicator tool and a refreshed digital presence, reflect the firm’s readiness for the next phase of LP-led secondaries.

NEW YORK, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Palico, LLC a regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS) for LP-led secondary transactions, has spent over a decade building toward a more efficient, more accessible secondary market. As the market matures and transactions grow larger and more complex, Palico is positioning itself accordingly, with a pricing model built to support larger transactions, a growing base of participants, and tools like Palico’s price indicator, which gives participants directional pricing estimates to inform their view of the market. A new website and refreshed brand identity, launching alongside these updates, mark the next chapter for the firm.

The scale Palico is now built to handle reflects that progress. As the secondary market matures, Palico continues to evolve alongside it, with the infrastructure in place to support flow-name accounts and the complexity that comes with larger transactions.

A Platform Built Around Access, Transparency, and Neutrality

Palico was founded on the premise that buyers and sellers of private fund interests deserve direct, unbiased access to one another without the friction, opacity, or cost structures that have historically defined secondary transactions. That premise shapes every element of how the platform operates.

Palico provides both sides of the transaction a fully digital, no-cost process to list or bid, with full anonymity maintained until a binding bid is accepted. Sellers gain access to a global network of more than 1,000 secondary buyers, with no exclusivity requirements, and can compare real, observable bids before committing to any counterparty. Buyers get direct access to pre-vetted, off-market LP-led deal flow that never circulates through traditional intermediaries, with every listing backed by verified seller identity and supporting documentation already in place.

A New Fee Schedule Designed for the Market

Alongside the rebrand, Palico is introducing an updated fee schedule that reflects its commitment to reducing the cost of secondary transactions. Palico applies a tiered fee model where rates decrease as transaction size increases. Each portion of the transaction is priced at its corresponding tier, resulting in a blended fee that becomes more competitive at scale. Pricing is set at 5 basis points above $50M.

Rather than lowering fees, this reflects how pricing evolves as the market becomes more standardized, more liquid, and more efficient. Many transactions today are no longer bespoke. Execution is increasingly repeatable, participation is broader, and markets are becoming more efficient. This level of pricing is only possible because      Palico was built as a digital-native platform, connecting buyers and sellers directly and reducing friction. This rebrand, and the new fee structure is yet another step in the evolution of the LP-led secondaries market and how Palico continues to be at the forefront of it.

“When we founded Palico, the LP secondary market was almost entirely relationship-driven. Pricing was opaque, processes were manual, and access depended on who you knew. That has begun to change and regulated digital infrastructure is a large part of why. The new site reflects where we are headed: a marketplace that gives every qualified participant the same access, the same information, and the same process, regardless of size or geography.”

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
