Private debt continues to witness exceptionally strong demand from institutional investors with the sector comprising 20 per cent of all new manager searches in the 12 months to end-June.
Preqin’s Investor Outlook H2 2024 finds that almost half (49 per cent) of surveyed investors globally consider private equity to be overvalued, as of June 2024.
