Recent years in Private Equity were of positive market characteristics: increasing investments, strong exit markets, attractive returns, and hot fund-raising activity which attracted attention resulting in structural challenges for the PE industry.
But how to differentiate oneself in a saturating market?
General partners further optimize their investment strategies via improved portfolio management or asset assessment which generates only low margins in a historically competitive market. Highly leveraging investments and waiting for the management to get it done by daily manner to exit after 3-7 years is not sufficient in a market tending to overprice assets and vanishing margins.

Some PEs specialize in specific segments or investment strategies to generate higher margins through higher efficiency by actively engaging in the company’s business to support the corporate strategy or using technological development.
PE is becoming increasingly competitive and is accelerated by fiscal policies and the growing economy.
