Market participants emphasize that operational value creation and artificial intelligence integration are now more critical than ever as traditional exit windows remain constrained. The reports detail a bifurcation in fundraising, where capital is concentrating among established "mega-funds" and specialised middle-market managers, while first-time or underperforming firms face extended closing timelines. Regionally, Japan is emerging as a primary growth hub in contrast to a broader slowdown across the Asia-Pacific region. There is also a notable institutionalisation of family offices, which are increasingly competing with traditional firms for direct deals and long-term ownership. Finally, the rise of retailisation and evergreen structures suggests a structural transformation in how private capital is sourced and managed globally. This podcast was created via Gemini Notebook
