This edition offers a strategic outlook for private equity in 2026, focusing on a transition from financial engineering toward operational value creation. Industry experts highlight the critical role of leadership alignment and talent acquisition, noting that systemic issues in executive selection often lead to high CEO turnover. There is a clear emphasis on technological integration, particularly how artificial intelligence and data transparency are becoming essential for enhancing due diligence and portfolio performance. Market trends indicate a selective recovery in exits, the rise of permanent capital vehicles, and a growing interest in specialised sectors like sports and infrastructure. Furthermore, the texts stress that sustainability and employee ownership are increasingly viewed as foundational drivers of long-term financial outcomes. Ultimately, success in this maturing landscape requires rigorous discipline and the ability to maintain exit readiness throughout the entire investment lifecycle.
