Perceptions and Realities in Today's Private Equity Markets
Private equity continues to dominate the business section as a result of some high-profile transactions, concerns about the amount of leverage used to finance deals and investment managers raising ever-larger funds. However, investing in private equity, once a minority pursuit for institutional investors, is becoming more mainstream. A recent turn in the credit markets has created both more opportunities and more risks for private equity investors, causing them to ask questions such as:
- How does one separate what is really happening in the private equity markets from the newspaper headlines?
- What specifically should private equity investors focus on in this current environment?
- How can one exploit the current inefficiencies and dislocations to benefit private equity investments in the medium to long-term?
On September 11, Watson Wyatt hosted a Web conference, “Perceptions and
Realities in Today’s Private Equity Markets,” to answer these questions and
more.
