Matador Secondary Private Equity Posts Mixed Financial Results

In a recent report by Edison Investment Research, the performance of Matador Secondary Private Equity (SQL) was analyzed. The firm recorded a foreign exchange-adjusted net profit of CHF1.9 million. This contributed to a 3.2% total return on book value for fiscal year 2025 at constant currency rates. However, when accounting for currency fluctuations, notably due to a weaker US dollar, the total return declined to -9.1%. Over the past five years, Matador achieved an average annual return of 8.6%.

Despite adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including the US tariff tensions in early 2025 that impacted private equity markets globally, Matador distributed 9.6% of the opening value of its fund portfolios. As of the end of 2025, Matador's shares traded at a 4% premium over its book value per share of CHF3.67.
