Six predictions for European private capital

Economic uncertainty weighed on PE and VC activity this year, but will the prospect of greater interest rate stability and improved market confidence bring a change of fortunes in 2024?

Read our analysts’ predictions in our 2024 European Private Capital Outlook, including:

  • PE fundraising is expected to become even more concentrated in the region’s biggest funds.
     
  • PE megadeals will likely remain muted.
     
  • A recovery in VC-backed IPOs is unlikely to materialize, but there is hope for a pickup in VC fundraising.
