Renewed Opportunities in Private Markets

-

The private equity boom that followed the 2008 global financial crisis was a period of record growth in AUM, plentiful M&A deals and leveraged buyouts, and healthy profits for investors. This was also a period when we saw record growths of private credit and real assets, including infrastructure. The market slowed to a crawl in the second half of 2022, thanks largely to interest rate hikes, global conflicts, and inflation. While uncertainty remains, how can private markets use today’s environment to its advantage and find improved returns for investors and partners? Amid such market volatility, which sectors, geographies, and asset classes within private markets present real opportunities for growth?
