Weathering a changing finance landscape influenced by geopolitical tensions, a global pandemic, and ever rising interest rates, business as usual is no longer the case for the private equity industry. Sitting on record high dry powder and watching thin margins from difficult business environment, private equity firms are innovating beyond traditional LP-GP models for success. Besides buying low and selling high, the private equity business has seen new trends emerge: democratizing access to retail investors, returning ownership to employees for greater financial inclusion and mergers with insurance companies, among others. Join us for a conversation to discuss the future of the business of private equity, beyond investments. What impact will these business transformations have for investors and the ripple effects across the industry and financial services? What further changes we see in the private equity business’ mode of operation? Where is there still room for innovation and disruption?
