Private Equity After the Crunch:
A route map for the new investment landscape
Edited by Ross Butler
Private equity has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past five years. Deal volumes surged from $163bn in 2002 to $518bn in 2007. But just as the industry passed the landmark $2trn in assets under management, the credit crunch closed off private equity’s vital source of leverage and the buyout boom came to an ignominious halt.
However private equity remains one of the very few parts of the financial markets with cash to invest. As asset prices tumble and business performance drops off, private equity is in a strong position to pick up the pieces.
