A Quiet Year Ahead in Private Equity? Not Exactly. 

With rising interest rates (above 5.0% in 2023), evolving recessionary predictions, or a "soft landing,” many private equity firms want to take advantage of falling valuations while facing a more difficult financing environment.

 

This environment will force investment and operating partners to establish a stronger integration management office given a bigger focus on immediate value creation results and more complex deals (carveouts, large public to private) to integrate.

 

"Majority of PE Firms view 2023 as the right time to take advantage of declining private company valuations to accelerate their platform companies’ add-on strategies. In their integration planning, platform companies face value creation gaps within add-on deals in areas like finance, IT, cybersecurity and ESG, making IMO essential to successfully achieving their deal thesis."
