Navigating Liquidity Challenges in Private Equity 

-

Private equity is navigating a more complex and interconnected deal cycle, where buying, holding, and exiting are increasingly shaped by constrained M&A markets, rising restructuring activity, and the growing need for private credit solutions. As secondaries and other liquidity solutions become core to the ecosystem and outcomes grow more dispersed, panelists will explore how the full spectrum of deal activity is evolving, alongside shifting valuation dynamics between public and private markets, elongated hold periods, and increased LP focus on DPI, liquidity, and manager differentiation in a highly selective fundraising environment, and whether private ownerships are better structured to navigate these shifts.
