Key trends in the private equity environment
NAV performance is modestly improving, with venture capital showing stronger gains, though valuation re-rates remain a headwind but are waning.
Liquidity remains constrained despite a pickup in exits in 2025; backlog of exits is still elevated and 2026 has been mixed.
Capital supply is abundant but fundraising is down due to weak distributions; dry powder remains high but is moderating.
Valuations and financing conditions are stabilizing, with full but steady multiples and supportive credit markets.
Macro uncertainty persists, but underlying company performance has not been meaningfully impacted.
Private equity deal and exit activity
Deal flow rebounded in 2025, approaching pre-COVID growth trends, with venture capital seeing the strongest growth.
Exit activity has recovered, especially for VC-backed exits, but overall liquidity bottlenecks remain unresolved.
Fundraising declined in 2025, with fewer funds closed and longer times to close; average fund size increased.
Dry powder levels are moderating, potentially reducing deployment pressure.
Valuations, leverage, and market dynamics
Valuation multiples have moderated but remain high by historical standards, with large-cap deals consistently priced above mid-market.
Leverage multiples troughed in 2023 but credit markets reopened in 2024-2025; large-cap deals use more leverage than mid-market.
The investment playbook is shifting from multiple expansion and financial engineering to operational value-add and creative liquidity solutions.
