Private Equity Funds & Management Buyout Deals Uncovered

Over the past three years private equity firms have continued to raise ever increasing funds and invest more and more in management buyouts and take privates, despite the pandemic.

Whilst there was evidence of a slow-down in 2022 there remains some $1.8 trillion of private equity funds waiting to be invested. Mega deals are firmly back on the agenda with the availability of debt to supplement equity and provide the leverage for value creation.
