Despite a dry spell for exits and a slump in 2024 deal volumes, private equity dealmakers are achieving remarkably consistent exit value overall, by prioritizing quality over quantity. Datasite and PitchBook delve into the strategies being used to unlock this liquidity and stave off a drought.

With two major exit channels in particular showing a recovery in median exit sizes, it’s clear that PE fund managers have battled hard through testing market conditions to secure some impressive valuations. The ace up their sleeve has been the secondary buyout, now accounting for an unprecedent 45% of PE exits in 2024 to date. The year has also seen a surge in transaction value from continuation funds – taken together, these trends indicate a shift towards more diverse and innovative liquidity strategies.

Fund managers’ focus on offloading assets has kept PE fund performance riding high despite economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Will their ingenuity persist in keeping those exits flowing? Find out in the Datasite and PitchBook webinar.

Highlights include:

  • PE market trends
  • The rise in secondary buyouts
  • The implications of continuation and secondaries fundraising
  • The Datasite view on today’s liquidity landscape
