General Session #2 - Evolution of Deal Sourcing and the Business Development Function
This panel will focus on how private equity funds respond to diligence efforts led by LP’s, sellers, advisors, and financing partners in today’s environment. Our panelists will walk through the ideal attributes a firm may possess across its fund size and composition, capacity, experience, exit strategies, and capital structures that help determine fit, capability, and bandwidth to provide adequate support capital towards investments. With continuation funds and extended hold periods on the rise due to persistent market volatility, this panel ultimately aims to share insights into how private equity can best respond to fund specific pressures to help win high demand deals and maintain success while navigating through challenging times.
