Independent, proprietary research is the foundation of Cogent Partners' advisory services.

We consider our leadership position a product of grounded understanding. By scrupulously deconstructing the market, we are able to deliver truly independent assessments and insights.

Our research practice offers sophisticated institutional investors a comprehensive understanding of the private equity landscape. We begin each year with a thorough analysis of the previous year's secondary transactions. Our semi-annual "Secondary Pricing Trends and Analysis" offers investors the clearest indication of how the market has performed across all fund classes and an overall sense for where the market is heading.

Our research team also provides industry leading manager due diligence as well as both fund and portfolio-level performance monitoring. We leverage our knowledge and experience to effectively identify and evaluate investment opportunities, manage risk exposure, analyze sub-asset allocation, project cash flows and anticipate future performance.
