Private markets can be difficult to a) understand and b) explain to clients. Here's a simple overview for the next time Private Equity comes up: a) Shares/ownership in a private company that is not publicly traded 🤝 b) Risk profiles vary across companies (early-stage "seed" companies tend to come with much more risk/reward than late-stage, mature companies close to IPO) ✴ c) The value of these private shares don't usually fluctuate on a day-to-day basis, which can help with reducing volatility and increasing diversification within a portfolio ✅ d) Investors in private equity can sometimes experience difficulty selling their positions (and may have to wait for a "liquidity event" such as M&A or an IPO) ⏱ e) Large institutional investors who typically place a large emphasis on risk-adjusted returns have been generally increasing their allocations to private equity (and private markets overall) 📋 f) Generally considered the asset class with the most risk/reward relative to private credit and private real estate (similar to stocks relative to bonds/real estate) 📊

The initial public offering (IPO) market allows institutional investors to incorporate the macroeconomic landscape with individual corporate earnings data — and future earnings forecasts — to ascertain a share price that will hold up to analyst and media scrutiny coupled with overall market dynamics.

The good news? Early indicators for 2024 suggest a shift towards recovery. With considerable unallocated capital and moderating valuations, the outlook improves, though recovery might be gradual. For PE deal makers, the focus now shifts towards strategic value creation and leveraging data analytics to uncover new markets and align investments with core business strategies.
