Today's Top Stories

Can the good times roll for private capital?

Private markets now control $14.7 trillion in AUM after growing at an annualized rate of 12.8% from 2012 to 2022, vastly outpacing publicly traded stocks and bonds.

High interest rates and an exit drought are challenging that growth, but LPs appear bullish on private allocations. Our latest analyst note explores how private capital AUM could expand over the next five years.

We forecast global private capital to reach nearly $20 trillion by 2028. That figure could stretch to almost $24 trillion in a positive macro environment.

Not all strategies will benefit equally: PE, private debt, and real assets have a steeper forecasted growth trajectory than VC and real estate.

Secondaries are expected to contribute to the boom, growing from $462.5 billion to over $700 billion in our base-case scenario.

Will payments reenergize enterprise fintech?

Enterprise fintech has hit a slump: Deal count and value dropped in Q1 to their lowest quarterly levels since Q2 2018, with 309 deals generating $3.2 billion.

Opportunities remain in the vertical payments space—with startups tackling the processing, integration and embedding of payment solutions into sector-specific software—which touches on several verticals.

PitchBook's Rudy Yang covers the trends, key investors and deals in our latest Emerging Tech Research on the space.

The PE funds hit hardest by interest rates

High interest rates and a stalled exit environment are testing recent fund vintages. But not all PE segments have been affected equally, according to our recent analyst note.

Among the takeaways: Generalist funds have outperformed their specialist peers, with healthcare and IT buyout funds suffering more than most from low exits.
