[Events] Brackendale Consulting’s Fay Margo asked LP panellists the million-dollar question on behalf of the thousands of private equity funds currently out raising – ‘What are LPs looking for in 2023 and beyond?’. The panel took place in the Hilton Munich Park at Private Equity Insights’ DACH Private Equity Conference earlier today. She was joined by Martin vom Hagen from Adams Street Partners, Dominik Bub from YIELCO Investments, Alexander Hesseling from LFPI and Gregory E. Schmitt from MEAG. Liquidity is, of course, a given, but if the cost to liquidity is too high then LPs aren’t always in favour of getting short-term wins through GP-led secondaries or NAV financing. They like to see: ✅ Constant investment pace ✅ Complex situation skillset ✅ Deal-by-deals opportunities ✅ Sector specialisation ✅ Transparency As a provider of LP sentiment surveys, Brackendale likes to stay on top of investors’ likes and dislikes to enable us to better serve our private equity fund manager clients. Thanks to all the panellists for your candour and to Hasan Qaiser for inviting us to be involved. #lpsentiment #privateequity #conference #PEIMunich2023

Charles Aponso of Quilvest Capital Partners, moderated the panel on the "Future of the GP-led market" at #SuperInvestor. Together with Mercedes F. (Partner and Managing Director, Morgan Stanley Investment Management), Philippe F. (Partner, StepStone Group), Johanna Lottmann (Partner and European Head, PJT Partners) and Sebastiaan V. (Co-Head GP Equity Solutions, Astorg), the panel exchanged views on deal flow, the transformations the industry is going through, the resulting (expected) market growth as well as the evolution of the market participants. The key conclusion from the panel was that the GP-led market is at its infancy, and this segment of the market in particular is expected to demonstrate significant growth over the next decade! #SuperInvestor2023 #PrivateEquity #Conference #GPled #QuilvestCapitalPartners #Secondaries
