2026 Global Private Equity Outlook

Strong year-over-year gains in buyout and exit values are steadily fueling GPs’ confidence in private equity’s trajectory over the next 12 months, even amid evolving U.S. trade policies, political stasis in key European markets, and a complex geopolitical backdrop.

Please join us to discover the key legal implications and considerations expected to shape the PE industry as presented in our 2026 Global Private Equity Outlook.

In this webinar, Everstone Capital’s Sujoy Bose, Investcorp’s Daniel Lopez-Cruz, and Ridgemont Equity Partners’ Dan Harknett join report authors Markus Bolsinger, Sabina Comis, Maria Tan Pedersen and Nick Tomlinson to share their perspectives on how PE managers can seize opportunities in 2026 and navigate the legal challenges predicted to shape and impact dealmaking.

This presentation will be simulcast via webcast.

Topics to be discussed include:

• The gradual thawing of traditional exit channels and the most promising opportunities for capital deployment in 2026.
• Strategies for differentiating your fund and attracting existing and potential institutional investors in a challenging fundraising environment.
• Tactics to successfully navigate the geopolitical and regulatory landscape with an eye toward speed-to-market in a competitive deal environment.
• The evolution and expansion of private credit to provide GPs with a wider set of debt products that can be tailored to meet bespoke financing requirements.
