Jim Strang, serial private equity NXD and chairman of Hg Capital Trust, discusses the complexities of the private equity landscape on the Fund Shack podcast.
Fundraising and Market Dynamics: Market Polarization: Large platforms and top-performing specialists continue to raise significant capital, while mid-sized players face extended fundraising cycles.
Liquidity Challenges: Investors are managing overexposure from the 2021 boom, causing liquidity issues across different regions.
GP Strategy and Growth: Clear Ambitions: GPs focus on defining clear ambitions and achieving team alignment.
Strategic Growth: Balancing ambition with operational capacity, strategies range from maintaining a single focus to expanding into adjacent areas through M&A.
Wealth Market and Semi-Liquid Structures
Growing Market: Wealth market growth through semi-liquid structures designed for high-net-worth individuals.
NAV-Based Exposure: These structures offer accessible entry points for private market investments, requiring careful liquidity management.
ESG and Cybersecurity: Central to Strategy: ESG considerations driven by investor demand and talent acquisition needs.
Top Risk: Cybersecurity remains a top risk, with firms prioritizing mitigation measures to protect portfolios.
