Alternative Investment Landscape: Review & Outlook of 2020
Using Preqin data, Jesse will examine the impact that COVID-19 has had thus far on the private equity real estate and private debt industry. We will delve into fundraising trends across those two industries, the effect the virus has had on deal making, and lessons we can take away from the last recession for managers today. We will also look at how institutional investors have been reacting to the downturn and how they might allocate towards private capital over the longer term.
