A major theme is the evolving liquidity and exit environment, with a slowdown in traditional IPOs, an increased dependence on secondaries and continuation funds, and a focus on generating cash returns for Limited Partners (LPs). Furthermore, the text heavily emphasises the critical role of talent and leadership, discussing the need for proactive Operating Partners and the strategic importance of aligning management teams—including through the use of fractional executives—to drive profitability, often enabled by early and strategic investments in technology and AI. Finally, the sources touch upon geographical trends in Europe and the DACH region, and discuss the industry’s need for greater transparency and its growing interest in sectors like defence technology, healthcare, and professional services.
