Larry Fink was in celebratory mood during his trip to Germany at the end of September. In a series of interviews, the BlackRock boss toasted the 25th anniversary of the giant investment firm’s flotation and the completion of its $12.5bn acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP). The growth of low-cost index investing in public markets is what has propelled BlackRock to its position as the world’s largest asset manager. Its aim is to repeat the trick in private markets and without having to pay fees to third-party index providers. But hang on, say the sceptics.

A swathe of private equity firms are retrenching from the consumer sector in Europe. “We are seeing many PE firms revisit their approach to investing in consumer products,” said Mark Veldon, who co-heads AlixPartners in the UK and AlixPartners’ Emea private equity practice. Some dealmakers are transitioning into different sub-sectors as part of the shift, according to Leon Gillespie, managing director and co-head of European sponsor coverage at Houlihan Lokey. Looking at the data, Nicolas Moura, CFA, Emea private capital analyst at PitchBook, has found a "weakening from the consumer sector" among private equity firms. However, just as some buyout shops are shying away from the sector, others are starting to pile into it, betting that the downturn in consumer spending is cyclical rather than structural. Advent International, TDR Capital and AURELIUS have been among the most active opportunistic firms. The sector requires "clear micro and macro discipline,” said Advent's Nicolas Chavanne. #privateequity #consumer #deals
