Private equity opportunities in 2010
Next year may spell the return of middle-market opportunities for private equity investors, according to a new analysis released by Credit Suisse.
The analysis suggested that global private equity investors would increasingly take advantage of middle-market buyout opportunities to generate returns in the wake of a difficult financing environment that had slowed the pace of private equity investments and exits.
Commenting on the analysis, Credit Suisse Customised Fund Investment group director and senior partner David Russell said the company believed there would be very attractive middle market opportunities for private equity investors next year.
He said there was a large addressable market for investors focusing on companies with enterprise values generally under US$500 million.
Russell said in the current economic environment it appeared investors were seeking more efficient and well-positioned private equity strategies.
