Private equity in 2024

Private equity faced many challenges in 2023, including a slow M&A market. Despite this, capital raised reached $669.2bn, surpassing 2022’s figures. Optimism for a 2024 recovery focuses on interest rates and reduced uncertainty to boost deal flow.

In a recent Preqin article, Alter Domus’ Tim Toska was joined by leaders from across the industry, including BlackRock, KKR and Schroders Capital, to give their expert views on deals, fundraising, and performance in the year ahead.

According to Tim, “The peak of the interest rate cycle should reignite M&A and IPO markets, helping to clear the backlog of unexited assets sitting in GP portfolios. Securing exits will be the number one priority for GPs in 2024, as they strive to return cash to LPs and get fundraising moving again. An increase in deal activity, and the continued development of liquidity strategies and more creative fund finance solutions, should ease the concerns of investors.”
