A better benchmark for buyout funds | | It's time to boost your benchmarking tools. Our latest analyst note uses take-private data, quarterly financial statements and historical stock prices to capture the fundamental characteristics of buyout investing in a portfolio of public equities. Analysts learned that PE funds are no magic bullet, performing mainly in line with public equities. LPs can use this analysis to better benchmark buyout fund performance and more clearly understand their risk-return profiles. | | | | | | Cracking Europe's IPO window | | If you're holding your breath for the IPO floodgates in Europe to open, you may be waiting awhile still, according to our new analyst note. Prolonged uncertainty surrounding interest rate cuts, geopolitical unrest and a slow recovery in valuations will likely push out any meaningful rebound in IPOs to 2025. The market backlog has peaked at 300 companies, and there's a European exchange brain drain while the public market is particularly inhospitable to unprofitable listings. It looks like a slow road back to breezy times. | | | | | | |

Industry titans have talked about how private wealth is expected to become a major source of capital going forward. But creating the right distribution channels remains a challenge. In Europe, at least, hopes are high that the revamped European long-term investment fund—ELTIF 2.0—will open the door for a wider group of investors. | | | | | | Market Map: Tracking the shifting momentum in healthcare services | | | (Nora Carol Photography/Getty Images) | | | PE deals in healthcare services have declined amid labor crunches and high interest rates. Among the bright spots in the sector are PPMs—physician practice management companies—that operate in areas like vision, oncology and clinical trials. Our latest market map dives into the PPM space, highlighting the segments with the highest concentration of platform companies. | | | | | | |
