The secondary market for private equity funds saw record transaction volumes last year as buyout bosses and their investors looked for ways to generate cash amid a downturn in dealmaking.

Israeli security cabinet recommends Gaza ceasefire deal
JERUSALEM/CAIRO (Reuters) -The Israeli security cabinet has recommended approving the Gaza ceasefire and hostage return deal, ahead of a full cabinet meeting expected later on Friday, a statement from the prime minister's office said. Cabinet is expected to meet at 3.30 p.m. (1330 GMT) to give final ratification to the agreement, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said is expected to take effect on Sunday, with the release of the first hostages. If successful, the ceasefire would halt fighting between Hamas and Israeli forces that has razed much of heavily urbanised Gaza, killed more than 46,000 people, and displaced most of the enclave's pre-war population of 2.3 million several times over, according to local authorities.
