Evercore and HEC Paris's fifth CV performance study includes 396 CVs formed between 2018 and 2024, a significant increase on the 140 funds analyzed in the inaugural report.

Private equity firms may find that their extra security steps around distributing money to LPs are making these transactions less safe, says Todd Sorrel, co-founder and CEO at 6lock. Here’s how to defend the process from today’s threats.

A tighter fundraising environment has left GPs struggling to meet LPs demands for side letters that grant tailored terms, co-investments and greater transparency.

LP demands for transparency are increasing in tandem with the variety of fees and expenses.

The $1.15trn sovereign wealth fund is also centralising data using AI across its private equity portfolio amid persistent geopolitical instability, said operating partner Jose De Ochoa at a PEI conference.
