Winners of Deutsche unquote" awards announced

The awards ceremony was held after the 5th Deutsche unquote" private equity congress, which provided attendees with a comprehensive overview and analysis of the German private equity market. A number of panel discussions offered insight into the current state of the industry.

The German mid-market panel for example discussed hot topics, such as charging management fees while not doing new deals, or what experience junior team members at private equity houses would gain when no new deals are being done. The audience heard that some GPs had opted not to call a management fee for some quarters now, while junior members are gaining valuable experience in dealing with troubled portfolio companies.

Other panels focused on the future of venture capitalists, the secondaries market and lesson's learned by LPs from the crisis. The fundraising discussion provided insight into the current fundraising market, highlighting that, while raising a fund certainly remains a challenge, as some LPs are not looking to invest in the next 12 months due to the existing regulatory uncertainty, there is also a shift towards emerging markets, with one third of commitments now coming from Asian LPs.

Following the conference, Deutsche unquote" recognised those firms in the German market that have managed to excel even in the most difficult market environment.
