Private Equity: navigating challenges and opportunities in the new geopolitical climate
2022 may feel like a case of déjà-vu for many private equity investors, with those who had looked forward to capitalising on the numerous pent-up opportunities suppressed by Covid-19 emerging from the pandemic only to be faced with new economic uncertainty and a materially heightened risk environment. However, despite geopolitical uncertainty, the ongoing impact of the pandemic, high energy prices and growing inflation, the industry remains optimistic.
We recently surveyed a panel of 100 senior-level private equity fund managers to further understand the issues keeping investors up at night and identify the pockets of opportunity – both in terms of sectors and geographies – investors are most bullish on over the next few years, along with solutions for any challenges expected.
The report highlights the numerous opportunities that well-capitalised private equity firms are looking to capture over the coming period.
