As we progress into the latter half of 2024, there have been considerable changes in economic conditions, the rate environment, credit markets, and buyer-seller dynamics. Although some uncertainty persists, the pillars of a much stronger M&A market are taking shape. Concurrently, many private equity groups are contending with a relative lack of high-quality opportunities, valuation gaps between buyers and sellers, and the need to generate liquidity for investors amid elongated hold periods. In this complex environment, PEGs are increasingly exploring innovative approaches to generating liquidity, raising capital, and financing growth. A growing number are achieving these goals through various private capital solutions, from GP-led secondary transactions like continuation vehicles to portfolio company financings, including preferred equity. In this article, we highlight several recent Harris Williams transactions that exemplify the growing interest and uptick in activity across private capital solutions.

Economists are stuck looking at the world with a soft landing / hard landing framework, based on past recessions and anti-cyclical fiscal policy. Instead, the economy continues to show resilience, while fiscal deficits remain expansionary and the Federal Reserve Board stays relatively dovish. We see no landing and a larger risk of growth re-acceleration rather than recession. Adding to that, the potential return of a Trump administration will likely result in more fiscal expansion. This is a new environment, not a return to goldilocks. In this context, credit still offers attractive opportunities - but not everywhere. We see little value in high quality credit, which comes with record-low spreads and high duration exposure, and we see overcrowding in private credit markets. There is increased dispersion and opportunities in high yield capital structures since the start of the year. In just two months, several names have already come under pressure - for example, Intrum, Grifols, Atos and more recently, Altice France. We are long reflation, credit and dispersion.
