Flying High: A Private-Equity Overview
Over the past decade, few asset classes have caused more furor and fury—and excitement and anxiety—than private equity. After 10 strong years, and as the number of public companies continues to decline, what has changed with respect to portfolio companies, management teams, and the evaluation of deals? Is confidence still high? What are the opportunities for private capital in the middle market? How can firms differentiate themselves in what many perceive is a crowded space? How can general partners (GPs) successfully prepare for an eventual downturn? Join our panelists as they look across the spectrum of PE deals and the challenges, as well as opportunities ahead.
