Dear Valued Member of the Moonfare Network,
The private equity industry experienced an uneasy first half of the year. Fundraising globally limped along. Dealmakers, meanwhile, continued to grapple with a more challenging financing environment.
However, a more detailed analysis reveals some noteworthy nuances.
For example, recent data from Europe suggests fundraising could be back on pace. In addition, certain private market subsegments are showing levels of robustness, such as secondaries, while one of the industry’s leading lights believes that private credit is even having a “golden moment”.
Below, we present our five takeaways from the first six months of 2023, along with the opportunities that lie ahead.
Happy reading!
