Private Equity Insights

4th September 2024 - Private Equity Insights' UK Event, a gathering of over 700 top Private Equity professionals at the Waldorf, Hilton in London. Our LP speakers; Merrick-Head of Private Equity at Patria Investments, Reena-Senior Manager Strategic Partnerships at Phoenix Group, Imogen-Partner at Pantheon and Ana Maria-Partner at Adams Street Partners answered one of the most important questions in the Private Equity industry: 'What LPs are Looking for in This Market?' The 40 minute engaging conversation began with an exploration of the key qualities that Limited Partners (LPs) seek in a General Partner (GP), before transitioning into topics such as importance of sector specialization, value creation, and the growing demand for liquidity in the current environment. A comparison was drawn between private equity and other alternative asset classes, highlighting how LPs are steadily increasing their allocations to the private equity asset class. The discussion highlighted the importance of the private wealth segment, investor education, and fundraising, with particular focus on the value of a manager's track record and long-term GP/LP partnerships. Congratulations to the Private Equity Insights team for another super successful event !
