Onno Bouwmeister, Global Sector Lead - Private Equity at
Vistra, discusses our latest private equity white paper and
highlights some of its findings.
The global private equity industry is currently in a state of
transition. US-China 'trade wars' and the uncertainty that
still remains around Brexit are just two aspects of the broader
geopolitical and economic landscape that are affecting
investors' decision-making processes.
Alongside this are regulatory and transparency requirements that
are having an impact on the way fund managers are running their
businesses. Meeting increased reporting and compliance requirements
is time-consuming and costly, and is forcing many GPs to reassess
their operational models – not least whether to keep certain
functions in-house or to outsource to third-party service
providers.
