The private-equity maneuver allowing more investors to cash out

Continuation vehicles, once used by 'zombie funds', now predominantly house top-performing companies. This private-equity maneuver allows more investors to cash out. For instance, New Mountain Capital sold Real Chemistry, a fast-growing medical-marketing agency, for $3 billion after owning it for six years. Notably, the buyer was New Mountain Capital itself. This strategy illustrates a significant shift in private equity, offering enhanced liquidity and opportunities for investors seeking to capitalize on high-performing assets.

Why 2024 will likely see consolidation in the global private capital market

The private capital market is expected to see consolidation in 2024 as fundraising has reached five-year lows and investors are becoming more selective with their investments. Private capital groups are selling assets to return cash to investors, leading to more consolidation in the industry. Despite challenges, deal activity is expected to increase in 2024, particularly in the healthcare sector. The fundraising slump can be attributed to falling stock and bond values due to rising interest rates, causing pension funds to reduce their allocation to private equity.

Private equity firms desperate for cash turn to a familiar trick

Private-equity firms are increasingly turning to risky debt in order to pay dividends to investors amid a slowdown in deal activity. These transactions, known as dividend recapitalizations, involve loading up companies with low-rated debt. So far this year, debt issued for dividend payouts has reached $43 billion, compared to $7.4 billion for the same period in 2023. Despite these recapitalizations, private-equity firms are not returning as much cash to investors as they would through outright company sales, and the distribution rate is the fourth lowest in the past 25 years.
