Over the past year, the U.S. economy has faced significant macroeconomic shifts, including the Federal Reserve aiming to strike a delicate balance between cutting rates to stimulate econonomic growth while ensuring inflation risks do not resurface. Even with a loosening of policy, rates are expected to remain significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels, leading to elevated borrowing costs and debt service payments for some time.
Layered on top of this, the recent U.S. presidential election saw the re-election of Donald Trump, bringing with it promises of tax cuts and deregulation. If fully implemented, these policies could lower taxes on corporate earnings and capital gains, potentially boosting private equity deal activity and improving the investment climate for private equity firms. However, the complexity of the current political landscape leaves much of this agenda uncertain, making it difficult to predict the full impact on the market.
Amid this mix of optimism and uncertainty, IQ-EQ, in partnership with the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr), is pleased to share a new detailed report on the U.S. private equity market. We hope these insights will help investors navigate the current market dynamics and strategically position themselves for emerging opportunities.
