2023 Global Private Equity Outlook

Today's private equity landscape stands in contrast to 2021’s anomalous levels of activity—an oncoming global economic downturn, rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions have resulted in a slowdown in deal activity, yet fundraising and buyouts remain above pre-pandemic levels

This report includes insights from a survey of 100 senior PE executives in Asia, Europe and the U.S. on how they continue to show resilience in the face of a variety of macroeconomic and geopolitical issues.

Highlights include:

  • 42% of North American and 40% of APAC respondents agree that the availability and the cost of leverage amid monetary tightening is a top challenge currently facing PE.
  • 82% of North American respondents and 80% of EMEA respondents are optimistic that market conditions for PE liquidity events in the next 12 months will be more favorable.
  • 40% of APAC respondents say the single most important global fundraising challenge to their firm is that of large LPs concentrating their investment relationships with a smaller number of funds. 32% of EMEA and 20% of North American respondents agree with this.
