We’ll be drawing insights from our research on European deal activity and value creation trends:
25% of European PE entries are backed by North American investors. Why is Europe becoming a more attractive destination for North American investors?
€1bn+ PE entries now account for 61% of European deal value, up from 56% in 2020. What's behind the shift to mega deals?
TMT represents just 19% of PE entries in Europe, versus 24% in the US. Does lower exposure make Europe more resilient?
Revenue growth now accounts for 75% of PE value creation, up from 44% in 2019. How can PEs adapt and change their approach to value creation going forward? What role does AI play?
PE multiples have fallen to 10.5x in 2026, down 23% from the highs. Is a rebound on the horizon?
European Holding periods have reached 5.8 years, up from 4.9 years in 2021. How are sponsors using secondaries and continuation vehicles to unlock liquidity?
