GCG’s Q4 2024 Middle Market Private Equity Update provides an overview of the latest trends in the private equity market.

Key findings include the following:

• 2025 is shaping up to be a significant year for PE. A number of key factors are converging, which will make the PE space quite active in the next 12 to 24 months.

• Prolonged hold periods and valuation concerns in existing portfolio companies are going to be tested over the next couple of years. Will valuations meet expectations?

• Continued rate cuts and interest rate declines will be critical to the near-term success for PE.

• Uncertainty around government policies will add to the complexity of the deal-making environment.

• U.S. PE dry powder has remained stable for the past 3 years. Conversely, middle market fundraising has dropped significantly during 2024. Will this continue into 2025?
