Private Equity & Venture Capital: Adapting to a Shifting Landscape
The latest Preqin Performance Pulse H1 2025 report highlights a critical moment for Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC):
- Private equity has lagged public markets, with muted returns as deal activity remains sluggish. However, monetary easing and an improving exit environment could reignite momentum.
- Venture Capital is facing a three-year losing streak, with negative returns at -21% since 2021. Yet, newer vintages are poised for stronger opportunities, with expectations for a turnaround by 2029.
- Liquidity constraints remain a challenge, as exits are happening at nearly half the pace of 2021, delaying returns for LPs.
- Smaller buyouts and early-stage VC deals are outperforming, as investors shift toward capital-efficient, high-growth opportunities in response to market conditions.
