In markets up and down, in-person networking has proven essential for middle-market dealmakers. But their needs are evolving—and the events that bring them together must evolve, too. Middle Market Growth Magazine covered a recent in-person networking event, the ACG Los Angeles Business Conference, and how it has evolved over the years to serve the ACG LA members.

Lots of food for thought from the Alternative Funds Summit organised earlier this week by Kirkland & Ellis and Houlihan Lokey, with the panel on GP stakes being particularly topical in the context of some sizable deals announced recently. This has been a pretty well-established practice in the US for some time now, but the consensus was that appetite is growing to take on this kind of investment among European firms. Unsurprisingly this is driven in large part by some of the success stories we’ve seen across the pond, encouraging senior partners to consider selling a stake, but we also heard that this is sometimes being instigated by the younger generation, looking towards succession planning and securing the next growth phase of the business. A question remains over what this means for consolidation in the private equity sector longer-term; particularly around how, and how fast, this is going to happen, and how many of the roughly 11,000 GP sponsors active today will still be around in ten years' time. Thanks Joseph Anthony Lombardo, Andrew Laurino, GURJIT KAMBO, Lavon-Krein Daniel and James King for sharing your insights. #privateequity #investing #privatemarkets

Private credit is everywhere you look. There is something about exposure to higher-for-longer interest rates, protected by equity underneath, that is proving hard to resist. Private credit started with the rise of leveraged buyouts – direct lending to private equity firms to sit on top of (or underneath in capital structure terms) senior bank debt and juice up their buyouts. Hedge funds and other non-bank lenders tipped in junior debt in return for a pretty penny. Funding buyouts are still private credit’s bread and butter, but its footprint is now much bigger. The industry got a kick along in the global financial crisis, as regulators, governments and central bank shareholders took a stronger grip on mainstream banks, and dictated what they should and shouldn’t do. Banks stepped out, and private credit stepped in initially targeting small businesses – matching what were then relatively small private credit funds. It feels like private equity 20 years ago; the same funds that diverted some of their listed equities’ exposure into privately run companies are doing the same with credit.
