Private Equity

The private-equity (PE) industry is undergoing a shakeout. After years of record investment, PE funding, debt availability, and exit opportunities have decreased sharply. Now, only funds with enough committed capital—and a solid track record of above-average returns—will survive. Today, PE firms face the following important questions:

  • How can we align our fund strategy with the investment criteria of the changing limited-partner universe?

  • How can we identify investment opportunities in an environment that is rapidly changing across all regions, industries, and capital markets?

  • How can we navigate our portfolio companies through the crisis?
