As we look ahead to 2025, the private equity landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. I've identified five key trends that are set to create exciting new opportunities for investors like you:
Lower Minimums: More PE funds are offering lower minimum investments (starting at $100K), opening up this powerful asset class to a wider pool of high-net-worth individuals.
Wealth Transfer: The great wealth transfer from Baby Boomers to Gen X and Millennials has begun, with many Boomers going through business successions or exits. This multi-trillion-dollar opportunity is freeing up significant capital and creating an exciting opportunity to participate in.
Software Rollups: With software eating the world, there has been a notable rise in PE firms focused on acquiring and rolling up profitable software companies. This trend is poised to accelerate in the coming years.
"Forever" Funds: Permanent capital vehicles with no requirement to return capital to LPs on a specific timeline are gaining traction. These align perfectly with strategies to acquire profitable, cash-flowing businesses, create operational efficiencies and hold for the long term.
Search Funds: Search funds, which back entrepreneurs in finding, acquiring, and operating a long-term business, are attracting increased interest as an alternative PE model, particularly among HNWIs and family offices.
To help you capitalise on these trends, we're excited to announce that our flagship Emergence 2025 Conference, on February 26-27, will feature a Private Equity panel that will dive deep into these developments and what they mean for investors.
Emergence 2025 brings together up to 1000 HNW, Family Offices and professional investors to explore the latest opportunities across PE, VC, crypto, real estate, private credit, and more. If you're looking to gain an edge and build your private equity investing thesis for the years ahead, this is a must-attend event.e
