Investment Week: “Patria Investments’ Alan Gauld: FCA review is an opportunity to dispel private equity valuation myths” (Sep 2024)
The topic of private equity valuations has always generated a debate, particularly so over the last couple of years. While some commentators from outside the private equity sector have questioned private market valuations, our experience is that valuation process and governance in the private equity buyout space have long been robust and have materially improved since valuation methods were first developed decades ago. Buyout firms are still typically selling businesses at a meaningful valuation uplift, yet the misconceptions regarding valuations still, frustratingly, haunt the industry.
RSM Global Private equity will remain active in 2023 (Feb 2023)
As we look into 2023, it’s remarkable the types of mixed messages that one receives about private equity (PE) and whether this group of investors will be active or not.
Uncertainty over where the economy is headed is understandably delaying some decisions…However, as was set out in our last market perspectives, about capital availability, there is a significant amount of capital available for private equity investors to deploy. Globally there is $1.2tn (near an all-time high) of what we call private equity ‘dry powder’ that must be deployed by these investors, and any slow down in their investment cadence could jeopardise their ability to invest all the funds that they have committed to do…we expect PE investors to continue to be active investors in 2023 and any companies seeking capital and strategic partners to navigate the current economic climate and make the most of the opportunities that it represents (there is always opportunity in a crisis!) should engage these potential partners.
