Introduction
GPs are cautiously optimistic as we enter 2025. Fundraising challenges, constrained capital deployment, and limited opportunities to exit investments are business as usual, while attempts to boost fundraising and ease liquidity pressures through wealth investors and alternative fund structures are only growing in importance.
That optimism also comes despite the imminent second Trump administration putting trade wars to the top of the external threats list, concerns over poor economic growth in Europe, and 40% of GPs fearing a major correction. A slim majority of our industry still expects the global business environment to be on the up in 2025.
This is the picture emerging from the 2025 IPEM pan-European Private Equity survey, analyzed by the team at IPEM in collaboration with global management consultancy AlixPartners. In total, 158 responses were received for the seventh annual edition of the survey organized by the CSA Institute on behalf of IPEM, working with 14 European national PE associations.
