PitchBook Analyst Note: US Presidential Election Guide

2024 private markets election guide: How the parties stack up  

The US presidential election next month could have significant consequences for private market participants, both for asset classes and the industries that VC and PE firms favor, our latest analyst note explains. 

The note examines how policy differences between the two parties could impact 20 different industry and technology sectors—including AI, healthcare and fintech—as well as VC and PE firms.
