Amsterdam, Netherlands – Pedersen & Partners and CMS co-hosted the #Benelux Private Equity Breakfast today. The event provided a lively and agile atmosphere for representatives of notable local and international #PrivateEquity, #VentureCapital and #Infrastructure funds to discuss, debate, and network. The panel discussion was co-chaired by Poul Pedersen – Executive Chairman, Pedersen & Partners, and Mark Ziekman – Partner, CMS Amsterdam. The panel members were: Simone Brummelhuis – Partner, Borski Fund Jean Diercxsens – Partner - Head of Belgium & The Netherlands, Kartesia Robert Falk – Partner, Bencis Capital Partners Marco Gulpers – Head of Corporate Finance M&A NL, ING Mels Huige – Partner, Active Capital Company Reinaert Molenaar – Partner, 365 Capital Patrick Polak – Co-founder and Managing Partner, Newion Partners Jesse van Schouwenburg – Managing Director, Investmens, CVC DIF Key takeaways from the event, as summarised by Hans Lodewijks, Client Partner, Country Manager #Netherlands, Pedersen & Partners: 📉 Overall Benelux M&A activity is stable compared to last year, but there is a decline in big deals. Corporate buyers have been more active than private equity funds. 🕒 Deals take longer to close, and more deals are being abandoned. 💼 Exits are difficult in the current market, resulting in a longer holding period. 💰 Fundraising is easier for large-cap private equity funds but challenging for smaller funds. 📈 Portfolio management skills are critical to help portfolio firms grow and perform. The panel highlighted the following critical value-creation actions in 2024: o Add-on acquisitions o The ability to raise prices o Controlling costs o Ensuring that portfolio firms maintain their focus 🔄 A majority stake in the Dutch infrastructure fund manager DIF was taken over by CVC in 2024. 🌱 Finally, ESG considerations continue to be of paramount importance in Benelux.
