28、E05Market insights 2023 an inflection pointSource:IMFTransitioning to a more mature Asia Pacific PE marketFollowing years of low-cost debt,supportive public market exits,and seemingly ever-increasing valuations,the tide began to turn in late 2022 with a drop in M&A transaction volumes that continued

29、 throughout 2023.In much of the world,accommodative monetary policy and government subsidies that supported economic activity throughout COVID-19 led to strong economies with low unemployment,but also to rising inflation,which was exacerbated by supply chain disruptions and heightened geopolitical c

30、oncerns.In response,central banks raised rates,resulting in more-costly deal financing for PE funds.So,in the same way that the world economy struggled to adjust to the onset of a global pandemic,it has struggled to return to normalcy coming out of a pandemic.Growth rates have returned post COVID-19

31、 but appear to have settled lower than they were pre-pandemic particularly in Asia Pacific.Geopolitical events are disrupting markets and supply chains remain under pressure.While inflation has largely slowed,there is still no clear consensus on when or how quickly central banks will lower rates.Mar

34、urse of the year.Meanwhile,slower growth in China has dampened some investors appetite in the region.But this does not mean the end of inbound investment.Slowing growth is natural and expected of economies as they reach a certain scale;the US is the largest,most-developed PE market in the world,desp

35、ite having lower growth and higher interest rates than many parts of Asia.A slower-growth environment simply requires more stringent target-screening criteria,developing strong business plans and focusing on operational improvements rather than a focus on top-line growth and speed to deploy capital,

36、as is the focus in a high-growth market.This shift in growth profile can therefore be seen as a point of inflection for how PE funds invest,and another indication of the maturing Asia Pacific PE market.So,perhaps what we are really seeing is not so much the end of an era for Asia Pacific PE markets,

37、but the beginning of a more mature phase in which,in various ways,they are coming to more-closely resemble and behave like their western counterparts.Considering this backdrop,many PE market participants and observers have argued that 2023 marked the end of an era for PE.Globally,a period of low-cos

38、t debt that began following the global financial crisis,has come to an end,with the return of high benchmark rates.In certain parts of Asia Pacific,this is compounded by slowing growth rates.Chinas GDP growth was estimated to be 5.2%in 2023;apart from COVID-19 years,which were exceptional,that is th

39、e lowest rate since 1990.4This leaves the industry in an unusual position regarding talent and experience,with all but the most senior and experienced PE professionals having cut their teeth and built their careers in a cheap-debt,high-growth environment.These conditions have disappeared,and profess

40、ionals are now facing a transition from growth-oriented deals backed by cheap debt to investments that focus on operations and that will deliver the cashflow needed to support costly debt payments.However,on closer inspection,this does not look like the end of an era for Asia Pacific PE.In contrast

41、to the western PE markets that rely heavily on leveraged finance to support deals(Term Loan B or high-yield bond financing),Asia Pacific PE funds often utilise local bank financing,which somewhat insulates them from the rise in rates seen globally.While difficult IPO markets(Asia Pacific IPO proceed

42、s dropped 33%in 2023)5 and macroeconomic uncertainty reduced transaction volumes overall in Asia Pacific(buyout investments dropped from 1,061 deals in 2022 to 947 deals in 2023),activity remained strong in some places,notably Japan(deal value in USD and JPY up year-on-year 48.5%and 68.5%respectivel

43、y in 2023),where public-to-private,corporate carve-out and business succession transactions provided PE firms with ample investment opportunities.In fact,the growing acceptance of PE-ownership demonstrated by these public company transactions can be viewed as a sign of a maturing PE market.Similarly

47、trade exits,2014-202321.113.011.807A hurdle-rate handicap Same valuations,different problems2023 was effectively the first year of post-COVID-19 economic activity in Asia Pacific.China ended its zero-COVID-19 policy in January;Japan lifted its travel restrictions in April;and Korea ended inbound qua

48、rantine requirements in June.For PE portfolio companies,this led to a rolling off of the pro forma adjustments used throughout COVID-19,as operational performance returned to pre-COVID-19 levels.Over the preceding years,many GPs made the argument that their portfolio company valuations should remain

49、 steady despite receding comparable public-market valuations.This reflected the oft-espoused benefit of private holdings less-volatile valuations with no need to constantly mark-to-market.It also represented a view that the impact of COVID-19 on portfolio company operations would be transient,with o

50、perations returning to pre-COVID-19 levels after the pandemic ended.The prevailing view was that portfolio company valuations would also return.Unfortunately,that view was only partly correct:most companies operational performance has returned to or near to pre-COVID-19 levels,but PE exit valuations

51、 have not.Instead,higher interest rates and greater macro-environment uncertainty are eating into the potential returns for financial buyers,whose target hurdle rates have not changed.With the possible exception of Japan,where financing is relatively inexpensive,hitting those hurdle rates is increas

54、es have faced numerous headwinds:COVID-19,geopolitical shocks,supply chain disruptions,currency movements,increased interest rates,and bid-ask valuation gaps to name just a few.Deloittes analysis of Asia Pacific PE deals in market suggests that at least 50 processes for PE assets were pulled or paus

55、ed in 2023 as a result of these dynamics.In the face of this uncertainty,many PE sellers were unconvinced that launching a formal sell-side process would result in a binding bid at a valuation that they could accept.As a result,PE sellers and their sell-side advisors shied away from traditional two-

56、round processes and increasingly used a new tactic to avoid failed deals:not launching a deal.Instead,throughout 2023 many deals started as investment banks and sellers soft sounding,testing waters or conducting early discussions.And when deals did start in earnest,there was often no set timeline or

57、 definitive process letter.In this way,processes in 2023 functioned more like bilateral or more accurately multi-lateral negotiations between seller and buyer(s).While PE sellers still had lofty valuation expectations,they valued discretion from potential buyers to prevent their assets being tainted

58、 by a failed process.The result was many pro-long processes,with some dragging on for six,nine,or even 12 months without resolution.However,for strategic sellers,particularly founders or corporates selling an asset due to management-succession issues,it was a different story and price was not the on

59、ly concern.This category of seller wants to understand how PE funds can improve and grow the business,to provide comfort to employees and other stakeholders,such as suppliers,customers and the wider community.Unencumbered by a strong valuation expectation,the risk of a failed process is lower for th

60、ese sellers.As a result,Japan,where it is estimated that as much as 60%of PE deals are driven by succession issues,continued to see a strong pipeline of traditional processes in 2023.The slower-paced deal environment for portfolio company sales is likely to continue in 2024 and may favour strategic

65、 throughout the year.This shift in focus was reflected by an increase in bolt on activity,changes to portfolio company talent,and a greater proportion of deal-team time being spent on portfolios rather than new deals.In fact,while the Asia Pacific market for buyout investments appeared to remain fla

66、t in 2023 at US$116B(vs.US$109B in 2022),a large portion of activity was portfolio related.Five of the ten largest Asia Pacific buyout investments in 2023 featured some element of portfolio management bolt ons,selling between a GPs own funds,and/or partial sales.The tough IPO market and valuation mi

67、smatches have driven a change in GP mindsets about exits as well.LPs contribute capital when the GP acquires a company and issues a capital call.They get their investment back through distributions to paid-in capital(DPI),typically as dividend payments and proceeds from the companys sale.With rising

68、 interest rates,dividend recapitalisations are difficult and costly,leaving portfolio company sales as the primary way to return capital to LPs.However,in a challenging exit market,the once-straightforward idea of selling assets to return cash to LPs has morphed into a larger,more ambiguous set of l

69、iquidity strategies.In an effort to return capital to LPs,PE funds have employed a range of creative means to generate liquidity outside of the traditional sale of IPO,such as:Continuation funds to extend the ownership period of individual assets,for example PEPs single-asset continuation fund for U

70、p Education,an asset held since 2015,or EQTs transfer of Vistra into its latest fund via merger with Tricor.Partial exits,which retain valuation upside while partially monetising for LPs,for example Affirma Capitals partial stake sale in TBO Tek to General Atlantic,or Bains partial sale of Works Hum

74、 capital or DPI or maybe denominator effect.But in reality,it was stalemate.Reduced public market valuations resulted in LP over-exposure to PE the denominator effect.And,rather than rebalance,many LPs opted to maintain their current portfolio exposure to the PE asset class,not putting new money in

75、until the money they already had invested in PE funds was returned recycling capital.But,in order to put existing investment money back to work,LPs need to get distributions from their current fund investments DPI.The result was a stalemate in fundraising,with LPs waiting for distributions to reinve

76、st and GPs waiting for exit conditions in the IPO and M&A markets to improve before they sold assets and gave LPs those eagerly anticipated distributions.As has been widely reported,growth and VC funds were the hardest hit,down 78%in capital raised from three years ago.But buyout funds also felt the

77、 squeeze,with many funds reducing their target size and LPs concentrating their limited investments into well-known,established funds.Buyout funds raised just US$20.6B in 2023,the lowest since 2018,and down 48%year-on-year.In fact,the two largest funds that closed in 2023(Bain Capital Asia V at US$7

78、.1B and Primavera Capital Fund IV at US$4.1B)represented 54%of the total buyout funds raised in Asia Pacific in 2023.The difficulty in fundraising can also be seen in the average time funds are in market,which is at a ten-year high of 20+months from launch until final close.The two largest funds tha

81、re GPs raising RMB funds for global investments.However,this may represent shifting sentiment in geopolitics rather than a lasting change in fundraising dynamics,because GPs targeting China-for-China investments are creating dedicated local RMB funds to complement,rather than replace,their main USD

82、funds.While the difficult 2023 fundraising market has been widely reported on and observed,there may be longer-term repercussions that have attracted less attention.The typical PE fund may have a 7-10-year life,but the investment period can be much more limited since GPs tend to deploy capital early

83、 in the funds life.In fact,as funds reach then end of their life,they no longer invest in new deals and focus solely on managing exits.The fundraising stalemate drastically reduced the number of funds closed and dry powder raised in the 2023 to 385 funds and US$63.2B respectively,a ten-year-low.The

84、longer this stalemate continues,the more vintages that will exist with a limited set of buyout funds.As GPs move into exit mode for their older vintages,the market in two,three or four years may have meaningfully fewer funds competing for investments.As GPs move into exit mode for their older vintag

87、or;you just invested and watched it grow.But for the first time in over a decade,PE funds view on,and strategies for,China have become incredibly varied and divergent.In 2023,GPs China investment strategies covered the entire spectrum:no China investments;only China-for-China without global connecti

88、ons;only China with cross-border value-add;or doubling down on growing China while competition pulls away.Geopolitics and slowing growth rates may have concerned some GPs or their global investment committees but LP demands drove much of this change,pushing Chinese funds to expand their focus to inc

89、lude more Pan-Asian and global opportunities.This in turn impacted other markets in Asia Pacific,as GPs shifted their attention to Southeast Asia,Japan,or India,and repositioned their deal teams accordingly.In fact,2023 saw PE professionals moving in all directions.New fund offices opened in Singapo

90、re,India,and Japan.Some funds repositioned teams into mainland China,while others moved their China teams out.Both regional and global funds competed for talent in Japan to capture a share of the growing market,and regional Asian funds continued building teams on the ground in the US and Europe.Many

91、 of these movements had already started before sentiment on China began to change but investor views on China undoubtedly accelerated these strategies.Looking into the future,global investors targeting a well-diversified portfolio will need to consider the fact that China is now the second-largest e

92、conomy in the world,or the largest when adjusted for purchasing power parity.Although their interest may be currently low by recent standards,they cannot simply ignore this significant factor.Forgoing investments into China would be comparable to forgoing investment in the US or Europe unfathomable

93、for any fund claiming to be a global investor.For this reason,at some point in the future,global investment in China will return.And,ironically,the same denominator effect that is currently keeping LP money away from PE to preserve asset-class diversity in portfolios could serve to push LPs back int

99、over the quarterly report-driven public markets of being able take a longer-term view,they also have to respond to the pressures of their fund lifecycles,continuously finding ways to deploy capital and deliver returns.Having taken a detailed look back over the past year,the start of a new year provi

101、nge market momentum,early 2024 market activity looks set to be a continuation of the past year.Robust markets,such as India and Japan,will continue at pace,driven by strong demand and support for deals,for example,Tokyo Stock Exchanges request for companies with low price-to-book ratios to improve v

102、aluations.Meanwhile,slower markets,such as China and Australia,may remain less active.Globally,GPs are becoming accustomed to the new normal of a high-interest-rate environment.However,with consensus around a US soft landing,there is new hope for rate cuts in the near future.This may have a delaying

103、 effect on deal making as participants seek to mitigate the hurdle-rate handicap by holding out for lower rates.Moreover,with multiple conflicts,threats to shipping lanes,and many important elections both in the region and globally there is little prospect of the geopolitical backdrop improving sign

104、ificantly.Without any major catalysts,GPs are likely to maintain a wait-and-see approach to launching exits and an equally cautious approach to new investments.However,by the second half of 2024,greater visibility on financing and geopolitics,and a confluence of external pressures refinancing,LP dem

105、and for DPI,and ageing investments should begin to drive greater M&A volumes.Bespoke deals:The emphasis on bespoke transactions and unique deal structures will intensifySecondary deals will continue to be bespoke,as GPs are hesitant to launch formal processes and still reluctant to reduce valuation

106、expectations.However,with an increased focus on liquidity options as opposed to outright sales there will be more scope for creative structuring with processes running off schedule,requiring more diligence,and negotiating more points.Savvy buyers will leverage the current market environment to unloc

107、k unique situations outside of normal processes,for example through novel structures,reapproaching failed processes or approaching MNCs for corporate carve-outs.GPs will use more minority purchases,convertibles or structured investments,and even portfolio business combinations between two or more fu

110、,ageing founders without heirs will continue to utilise PE exits for family businesses,particularly in the currently muted IPO markets.In Japan,increasing acceptance of PE buyouts and their value-add through operational improvements will drive more succession deals,public-to-privates,and corporate c

112、 not just in portfolio companies but as a greater part of investment cases moving forward.As a result,sellers may spend more time outlining operational changes that a buyer could underwrite to help bridge the valuation gap and buyers may require more diligence to verify operational plans,which will

113、play a greater role in their investment decision-making.Both of these effects will extend the timelines for transactions.There may also be a convergence with the broader GenAI trend as some GPs seek to leverage AI to drive efficiencies at portfolio companies.For example,they may use AI to create con

122、nd ESG will begin to quieten,but not because ESG concern has gone away.In fact,to the contrary,a Deloitte survey of 100 fund managers in March and April of 2023 found that 87%of LP investors have a sustainable investing/ESG policy in place.7 Instead,the buzz will die down because ESG will become a n

123、ormal business-as-usual component of every deal.Firms will not trumpet their ESG credentials as much as before,but ESG will still be present as a necessary part of deal-making.The main change will be a shift in emphasis,from promoting ESG angles or stories(sell-side window-dressing)to greater focus

124、on actual ESG diligence and plans.Of course,in the same way that a nice-to-have will become normal and expected,businesses with a poor or no real ESG story will stand out more,but in all the wrong ways.In this developing narrative,it is worth remembering that LPs will set the tone.In current conditi

125、ons,they have the negotiating power and their ESG priorities will to a large extent influence what GPs do.In addition to the focus on strengthening ESG performance from an operational perspective,PE are increasingly thinking about ESG tailwinds from a strategic standpoint and how trends,such as the

126、energy transition,are giving rise to new businesses and sectors.As such,we are seeing traditional buyout and infrastructure funds acquiring businesses whose primary strategic focus is on providing products and services that will enable the transition(e.g.climate technology,energy software and hardwa
