Snapshot of the private equity space

Have clients interested in private equity? These investments are generally highly illiquid, so before they put their money down, they should have a clear sense of what segments of the private equity space are most likely to deliver on expectations of higher returns.

A report on private equity released by Grant Thornton can help you guide this conversation. It details results from an annual survey of 175 senior industry practitioners from around the globe, which show: a new focus on returns rather than entry multiples; secondary buyouts increasing in importance; and the significance of management’s ability to deliver on its plans.
