The Satellite Newsletter #45

Dear Valued Member of the Moonfare Network,

Private equity dealmakers may be hard to impress but ice cream never seems to fail.

At least judging by the foot traffic in front of Moonfare’s gelato cart, which returned as a fan favorite at recent SuperReturn, the industry’s largest gathering held annually in Berlin.

Beyond the ice cream lines, our teams on the ground picked up a shift in sentiment among decision-makers. Private equity is becoming increasingly selective in how managers deploy capital and more focused on value creation at the portfolio level.

“We believe this operational depth will separate winners from the rest,” says Lawrence Terraciano. In an interview, Moonfare’s Investment Manager breaks down the markers of alpha generation and why many outperforming managers seem to be emerging in the mid-market space.

Make sure to check the rest of the newsletter too. We unpack AI investing, look into typical PE allocation across investor types and cover private wealth’s growing embrace of private markets.

Happy reading!
