8、among some of the highest ever recorded,even if down from 2021s record levels,while divestments have continued at a relatively steady pace despite the severe headwinds affecting many exit routes.Arthur D.Little(ADL)and Invest Europes European PE survey,combined with Invest Europes first half data,br

10、fundraising,investment,and divestment activity in the near term.Longer term,however,there are positive expectations for fundraising as investors foresee commitments to private equity to be as high or higher than they are today.PE firms and their investors are fully aware of the risks from inflation

12、 seen as key ways to unlock value,alongside bolt-on acquisitions and measures to drive internationalization and organic growth.Understanding,embracing,and delivering on environmental,social,and governance(ESG)represents one of the greatest challenges for the PE industry.It is one that GPs are addres

13、sing,with the vast majority placing greater attention on ESG factors as well as issues surrounding diversity and inclusion.It is clear this is not a short-lived intention but a secular shift,with many GPs looking at the creation of“green”funds that would set a very clear direction for the industry f

14、or years and decades to come.Together,the data from the first half of the year and the PE survey paint a clear picture of the challenges and the opportunities for European private equity.The industry has traversed a volatile period already in 2022 and expects more short-term uncertainty.But over the

15、 longer term,European private equity is preparing for a greener future,incorporating ESG factors even more firmly at its core,with the full support and commitment of investors.4REPORT THE INSIGHT:KEEPING AN EYE ON THE HORIZON5ARTHUR D.LITTLE1.ROBUST MEDIUM-TERM FUNDR AISING E XPEC TATIONSAfter a rec

16、ord year for European PE fundraising in 2021,institutional investors capital commitments to the asset class remained strong in the face of geopolitical and economic concerns.Funds raised 64 billion in the first half of 2022,in line with last years first half results,with continued strong performance

17、 across all segments,including private equity and venture capital.UK and Ireland,and France and Benelux,continue to dominate fundraising on a geographical basis(see Figure 1).As ever,distribution of fundraising tends to reflect the domicile of funds rather than the ultimate destination of that capit

18、al,with investment in the first half of 2022 more evenly spread across the continent.Despite continued strong support for PE funds in the first half of 2022,LPs and GPs alike are notably less optimistic about the short-term outlook for fundraising.In addition to any macroeconomic concerns,there are

19、technical considerations at play in PE allocations.With European equity markets seeing significant decreases since the start of the year,allocations by asset class going forward may be impacted.In other words,they may be overallocated to private equity,which could put new commitments on pause until

20、portfolios are rebalanced.As a result,a large majority of GPs expect fundraising to be weaker in the coming 12 months compared with the prior year(see Figure 2).FUNDS RAISED 64 BILLION IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2022,IN LINE WITH LAST YEARS FIRST HALF RESULTSFigure 2.Fundraising(next 12 months vs.last 12

24、y to be higher or unchanged over the next three years(see Figure 3).It is also important to note that the asset class is still evolving.New funds and vehicles are taking the PE asset class to a relatively untapped retail investor base.The pace and extent of this transformation is hard to assess but

25、could unlock significant funds in new funding for private equity.In the PE survey,some 80%of the GP respondents confirmed an interest to market future funds to retail investors including high-net-worth individuals.“I understand that the GPs may be less optimistic about future fundraising considering

28、20212022LP72.INVESTMENT OUTLOOK WEAKENS,CONFIDENCE PERSISTS IN TOP SECTORSPersistent inflation,rising interest rates,and deteriorating macroeconomic conditions have increasingly weighed on market activity.Private equity is not immune,yet has seen resilient levels of investment.In the first half of 2

29、022,the industry recorded 57 billion of investment,a 21%reduction compared with the immediately preceding six-month period(see Figure 4).Nevertheless,the total represents the third-best half-year performance from European PE over the past decade.First half data shows that both venture capital and gr

30、owth investment continued to track at levels close to records set last year,while buy-outs have normalized to be more in line with the averages of the last five years.However,GPs are less optimistic about the outlook for investment over the coming 12 months than they were this time last year.Some 30

31、%of GPs consider the outlook to be stronger compared with over 50%who forecasted better opportunities last year.In addition,fewer GPs are neutral on the investment outlook,while the number expecting a weaker environment has risen sharply to over 40%from under 10%last year(see Figure 5).Figure 5.Perc

35、us of PE firms by type of transactions is shifting,reflecting in part the market dynamics and economic pressures affecting large businesses across Europe(see Figure 6).Over half of GPs expect more public-to-private transactions compared with under a quarter who did last year.Almost half also expect

36、more corporate spin-offs,again illustrating the need for multinationals to rationalize their operations in the face of a downturn and deliver value to shareholders.In contrast,a smaller number of GPs expect more primary and secondary investments than last year and a larger number expect fewer primar

43、eLower9PE divestment activity softened in the first half of 2022,coming off high levels last year.Funds divested some 14 billion of assets compared with 22 billion in the second half of last year,which was the strongest six-month period for exits since 2017(see Figure 8).Venture capital divestments

44、were marginally higher,however,illustrating the growing scale and success of the industry across Europe.Macro concerns,high inflation,and rising interest rates not to mention increased energy volatility and geopolitical tension have impacted the exit environment.As a result,more than 60%of GPs expec

49、HE HORIZONARTHUR D.LITTLEThat shift in sentiment is mirrored by the number of GPs who now think that divestments will be stronger under 10%in contrast to over 60%last year.It is important to note that GPs retain a strong degree of flexibility in when they choose to exit.The strong year for divestmen

50、t last year,combined with the emergence of longer-duration funds and new vehicles to hold assets for the long term,provide options for both LPs and GPs.Market volatility and uncertainty have affected GPs expected divestment routes as well(see Figure 10).Over a third expect proprietary situations to

51、be more common in the next 12 months,while a quarter expect management and owner buy-backs to be more frequent.Expectations for IPOs have dropped sharply,echoing the decline in this exit route this year,which accounted for only 4%of divestment value at cost in the first half of the year.Seven out of

52、 eight GPs expect IPOs to be less common over the next year,while just 13%expect them to be the same or more frequent.Over a quarter of GPs also expect auctions to be less common,although more than seven out of 10 believe auctions will be at least as common over the next 12 months,indicating ongoing

55、1GPGP1 1Valuations are a central consideration for PE firms,affecting both investment and divestment(see Figure 11).Comparable valuations in equity markets as well as the availability of financing have had a clear impact on asset price expectations.GP and LP views on the valuation outlook are very s

56、imilar in both cases more than 80%expect valuations to be lower in the coming 12 months compared with the previous 12 months.In contrast,last year,over 90%of LPs and GPs expected valuations to be higher,a dynamic that would have helped drive strong levels of divestment activity through the second ha

57、lf of 2021 and into early 2022.“In the current environment,we are spending a lot of time on operational improvement and growth,so the companies will be in a better position when exits occur in more beneficial circumstances.”Kristof Vande Capelle,CFO,GimvFigure 11.Evolution of PE transaction market(n

67、xpect more attention to diversity and inclusion as the industry makes greater efforts to increase participation of women and minorities at all levels.Against an uncertain and volatile macroeconomic and political backdrop,GPs and LPs are also intently focused on issues including geopolitical risk and

68、 risk management.Almost two-thirds of GPs also expect to communicate more with LPs,reflecting the need for enhanced investor reporting on sustainability as well as the importance of strong investor relations in more challenging periods.In contrast,under 30%of LPs expect greater communication,highlig

69、hting it as a lower-priority concern for investors.However,it is worth noting that GPs and LPs almost unanimously expect the same or a higher degree of attention to all key topics.5.AT TENTION TO “GREEN”TOPIC S,ESG&DIVERSIT Y TO INCRE ASEFigure 13.Expected changes in near future,daily operationsSour

81、D.LITTLEEuropean private equity continues to grow and evolve,reacting to challenges and responding to opportunities.The macro headwinds that have developed this year are inescapable rising inflation,geopolitical risk,higher interest rates,and the threat of recession yet for agile managers,they highl

82、ight new routes to deploy capital and use various levers for operational improvements at companies.Private equity has weathered the first half strongly with investment levels that,while down on last years result,are notably higher than the preceding period.There is further uncertainty ahead,but fund

83、s are preparing to embrace that,partly by targeting more public-to-privates and corporate carve-out transactions.The conditions enhance other opportunities as well,such as the potential for more investment in renewable energy or leveraging GPs operational expertise to drive value through measures fo

84、cused on sustainability and geographic expansion,as well as digitalization and bolt-on acquisition strategies.The short-term headwinds have not diminished the industrys commitment to ESG;if anything,they have further enhanced it.There is a clear direction toward“greener”funds and investments that ta

85、ke climate and ESG considerations even more firmly into account,as the European PE industry adapts to some of the worlds most developed regulation on sustainable investment and disclosure.It is private equitys ability to take the long-term view that is at the heart of its relationship with investors

86、.In the near term,technical considerations around LP allocations,as well as the ability to secure exits in uncertain market conditions,will weigh on fundraising.But in the medium term,the industrys track record on performance over decades,rather than months and years,will sustain and help draw more

87、capital into the asset class.Private equity is an active and integrated part of the European investment landscape,transforming businesses and supporting investors not only in good times,but also when the outlook darkens.CONCLUSION1 9Arthur D.Little has been at the forefront of innovation since 1886.
