2020 Annual US PE Breakdown

The 2020 annual edition of the US PE Breakdown unpacks the key trends that shaped private equity deals, exits, and fundraising in an unprecedented year.

This report describes key trends including:

  • PE dealmaking bouncing back to finish on a high note
  • An increase in add-on acquisitions and alternative methods of capital deployment–such as growth equity and investment in public companies
  • Resurging public markets providing an opportunity for PE firms to pursue IPOs and a record-breaking number of SPACs
  • Fundraising remaining stable with funds targeting longer holding periods and technology investments faring particularly well
