Emerging Markets Opportunities for Private Equity: Exploiting New Frontiers
By Nick Skrekas
In the face of a global economic downturn, there has been no sign of Private Equity (PE) investors in emerging markets running for the hills.
Admittedly, the credit crunch has slowed the wave of PE deals. However, it has refocused interest in smaller deals in emerging markets that require little debt. In 2008 for example, PE funds dedicated to this sector still raised an impressive USD$67 billion despite the crisis. In addition, PE investors still plan to increase their exposure to this asset class.
Investors today recognize that emerging economies are the only ones still growing. They also observe that PE deals in emerging markets do not rely on debt and that the collapse of the global leveraged finance markets is not about to impede deal flow.
This increased investor confidence stems not only from the prospect of stronger growth in emerging economies, but also from the increasing maturity of the sector. Majority of investors committed to recent emerging market PE funds expect them to outperform developed market funds of equivalent vintages. Moreover, based on recent surveys, they expect this trend to continue for new commitments over the next few years.
Emerging markets PE is therefore a robust business and asset allocation model that is able to adapt. It has survived and flourished and will continue to do despite the difficult past 12 months. One way to survive the current economic slowdown and benefit from the coming recovery is to adopt a global emerging markets PE strategy.
