Buyouts: Financing, fund deployment and valuation trends
According to a joint report conducted by Mergermarket and Debtwire, buyout activity amounted to 752 deals worth USD 276.9 billion in the first 9 months of 2022, down 25.6% compared to 2021. Against this challenging backdrop, PE managers will have to navigate the tension between increased volatility versus record levels of dry power (US$1.2 trillion in the US alone) and the requirement to deploy capital. However, PE firms remain well equipped to seize quality assets and financing opportunities and employ creative approaches towards deployment. A panel of the biggest buyout managers in the market will discuss dealmaking during a time of market volatility, and how they are continuing to capture opportunities for long-term strategic growth.
