Private Equity Returns are highest following market turmoil
- The chart shows Financial Services buyouts had strong returns in 2009 and 2012 following economic downturns when for the same years' comparative stock markets were weak
- Regulation like Basel III, Solvency II, AIFMD combined now with Brexit creates uncertainty for Financial Services companies with knock-on effect to valuations
- Consequently, quality Financial Services companies can be undervalued creating opportunity for buyout investors
- CEPRES analysis of Financial Services deals proves upside for buyouts versus comparative stock markets following market turmoil
Comment:
"With all the doom and gloom over Brexit and its impact on world markets, this could be a silver lining for PE investors in Financial Services companies. Smart Fund Managers (GPs) can take advantage of this type of market dislocation to deliver better returns to their investors (LPs)."
