PE investors remain cautious amid lack of trade clarity
PE investment activity was somewhat muted in Q2'25, with
proposed PE investment of $363.7 billion across 3,769 deals —
down from $505.3 billion across 4,527 deals in Q1'25. Ongoing
uncertainties related to tariffs, global trade, and supply chains,
saw many PE investors holding back from signing deals despite a
sustained volume of deals activity, particularly in the US.
