Rather than just naming secondaries as a trend, I would try framing it around why they are increasing and what that means for clients. For example, you could ask about what is driving the rise in GP-led secondaries and how that has changed the advice that PE sponsors are seeking.You could potentially also touch on how higher interest rates or longer exit timelines are shaping PE strategies. I personally found that trying to phrase questions as open-ended and using "why/how" helped to frame the questions in the right way for insight days! Overall, I think the best way to show commercial awareness at events is to be genuinely curious - make sure to ask questions on practice areas that you are interested in, as well as those that the firm is known for!Best of luck with the insight day - sounds like you're preparing well already! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
