Asia private equity outlook: Back in action
Japan remains the darling of Asian private equity, but plentiful opportunities exist elsewhere in the region – and sentiment in key geographies is improving. Strong public markets are chiefly responsible for continued bullishness on India and cautious optimism regarding China. Australia and South Korea, like Japan, are beneficiaries of a pivot towards developed Asia. Extended holding periods and liquidity challenges remain, despite an upturn in exits region-wide, which means GPs must do more on value creation.
- Which geographies and sectors offer the best risk-return balance?
- How are GPs altering value creation plans as holding periods lengthen?
- What is the outlook for liquidity in 2026 and what channels will be utilised?
- Is China rebounding, and what does that mean for other geographies?
