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

This edition offer a comprehensive overview of current trends and challenges within the private equity (PE) sector, highlighting a significant shift from traditional financial engineering towards operational value creation. Many sources emphasize the increasing integration of AI and GenAI across PE operations, from deal sourcing and due diligence to portfolio management and internal efficiencies, with some noting its potential to enable smaller, more agile firms. Concerns are raised regarding cultural misalignment in portfolio companies and the resurgence of PIK debt, which could signal future financial difficulties. The importance of agile talent management, effective financial architecture, and product-led strategies are also key themes, alongside regional investment trends, particularly in Europe and APAC healthcare.
