Private equity weathered the pandemic well: After a small blip, deal volumes and valuations returned to their historic strong growth. However, beyond the headlines, the industry has seen impressive adaptation and changes, from shifting fundraising and diligence to virtual, or the rise of the secondary market and its promise of new liquidity profiles. At the same time, deals have shifted over the past year to take advantage of dislocations, as corporations divested and transformed their portfolios. Are we set to return to whatever "normal" is? Or have value propositions shifted? And where is the midmarket heading as technology is taking over sectors and financial markets continue to be driven by unconventional policy? Join a discussion on the new course of private equity, and learn what it is likely to mean for the wider economy.
