Private Equity’s Liquidity Wake-Up Call

from Dry Powder: The Private Equity Podcast · host Bain & Company

On June 23, I joined the Capital Allocators podcast to discuss some of the pressing challenges facing the private equity industry today, with a particular focus on the ongoing liquidity crisis. This is an unprecedented and, I would argue, an underappreciated problem for the industry. We should be talking about it more, and that’s why we’re sharing this excerpt with you today. I’d like to thank the host of Capital Allocators, Ted Seides, for the opportunity to dive deeper into the data on exits and fundraising and also to explore some of the tools the industry might use to navigate this impasse. You can also listen to our full conversation on the Capital Allocators podcast here..

Host Hugh MacArthur unpacks the industry's unprecedented liquidity bottleneck and what it means for LPs and GPs.
