Private equity – at a crossroads

Private equity continues to demonstrate resilience in a challenging environment, with value creation increasingly being driven by earnings growth and operational improvements rather than multiple expansion. In this video, we discuss recent developments in deal activity, fundraising dynamics and liquidity conditions, including the growing role of secondary markets. We also explore how technological change, particularly the adoption of artificial intelligence, is shaping value creation within portfolio companies.
