Unquote Private Equity Podcast: H1 review special
With the first half of 2021 now in the books, the team looks at key takeaways and numbers across deal-doing and fundraising, and ponders where the market might be headed.
With some regions in Europe posting record-breaking results for private equity activity, the industry has shown a resilience and adaptability to cope with the pandemic that is the envy of many business sectors. Fundraising remains frothy, buyouts are coming thick and fast, and the exit window appears to have reopened, now that the economic jitters have subsided.
Unquote editor Greg Gille welcomes our reporter Harriet Matthews to delve into the PE landscape, breaking down the data by region, and revealing a promising outlook for almost everyone in the industry.
