Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PEI's Data Dive: How LPs' investment priorities are shifting
Q: Do you think this shift is likely to stay over the next coming year, or what do you think is needed for LP appetite to swing back towards private equity?
The shift is likely a temporary recalibration; if liquidity improves and macro conditions stabilise, sentiment could swing back quickly, but for now it's a pause rather than a structural change.
PEI's Data Dive: How LPs' investment priorities are shifting
Q: Alex, from an editorial perspective, how are you interpreting these findings?
The interpretation is that LPs are signaling a pause and rebalancing rather than a wholesale retreat; regional shifts and liquidity constraints are shaping pacing and relationships, with continued engagement across the asset class.
The next frontier for real assets: Why multi-product managers have a head start to 2030
Q: What macro themes will drive growth in private real assets over the next five years?
The five Ds: decarbonization, digitalization, deglobalization, demographics, and democratization will drive growth.
The opportunity surrounding uncertainty
Q: What are the expectations for LP led portfolio sales in comparison to GP led?
Expectations suggest continued interest in LP led sales driven by macroeconomic factors and a similar regulatory environment.
The opportunity surrounding uncertainty
Q: How has pricing for various asset classes fared over the past 12 months?
Pricing has seen buyers become highly selective, with discounts varying across asset classes, particularly older vintages.
