We curate most relevant posts about Private Equity on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways.

This edition offers a comprehensive overview of the current landscape and future trajectory of private equity (PE). It highlights a significant shift from financial engineering to operational value creation as the primary driver of returns, particularly in a high-interest rate environment where leverage is reduced. Several authors emphasize the increasing importance of technology, especially AI, in due diligence, portfolio optimization, and overall business transformation for PE-backed companies. The discussions also cover the challenges in exiting investments and the growing role of secondary markets and hybrid capital solutions to address liquidity needs. Finally, the texts touch upon the evolving investor base, with family offices showing increased selectivity and an interest in private credit, and offer practical insights for General Partners (GPs) on fundraising, talent management, and strategic deal-making.
