Insightful analysis specially from Value Creation and Value preservation perspective.....

Global issues impacting PE firms per Bain report, which suggest an impactful and opportunistic M&A calendar over the next 2+ years: “…Private equity groups globally are sitting on a record 28,000 unsold companies worth more than $3tn, as a sharp slowdown in dealmaking creates a crunch for investors looking to sell assets… …It was truly a year of haves and have-nots,” the Bain report said. Just 20 funds accounted for more than half of the $448bn raised by private equity, with investors concentrating on firms with records of returning cash to their backers… …The “secondaries” market — of private equity investors buying and selling existing stakes in funds and private equity groups moving assets from older to new funds — was another bright spot… …The amount of money raised in the secondaries market nearly doubled last year, with groups including Blackstone and Lexington Partners both raising more than $20bn each…” [FT Quote] #pe #liquidity #divestment #ecm #fundraising

The recent slowdown in dealmaking, as spotlighted by Financial Times, has yielded an unforeseen outcome for the private equity sector, now laden with record levels of unsold assets. This development triggers a crucial consideration for professionals across industries: adaptability. In the rapidly shifting sands of global markets, the ability to pivot, reassess investment portfolios, and strategize with agility has never been more essential. This scenario underscores the importance of constant market evaluation and the readiness to recalibrate strategies in response to evolving financial landscapes. In a world where change is the only constant, our foresight, flexibility, and resilience are invaluable assets. This insight from the Financial Times serves not just as a mirror to the current state of private equity but as a guiding principle for professionals navigating the complexities of modern business environments.

With such a backlog sitting around today one can better understand why « new » investors segments such as retail investors are currently being the talk of town thanks to the so called « democratisation » of PE products…😉 The industry has grown exponentially and very quickly, trying bringing in retail (ie « stupid money ») is only a symptom that the crisis is here and here to stay for a while I am afraid ! There will be plenty of opportunities for very skilled and risk conscious investors able to navigate through the crisis but retail investors must stay away from it all until the dust settles.

This recent Financial Times article highlights the importance of working with a family office that has true expertise in private equity. Unique access and ability to diligence these types of managers is critically important as this asset class has had record participation. The year to year value of businesses held in these portfolios can look good on paper, but investors won't know their actual return until they are redeemed. #privateequity #multifamilyoffice

An astonishing statistic that will surely precede increased deal activity in 2024. It will be interesting to see how the pressure on PE firms to sell assets that have passed their expiration date will impact valuations over the coming period.
