Exits have been hard for #privateequity — and according to this article from PitchBook (https://lnkd.in/gWT7waX4), they will remain hard as we enter 2025. That's why sophisticated foreign investors, like Mubadala Capital, are starting to target these long-hold PE-backed assets here in the US. In addition to persistent macroeconomic headwinds that have slowed exit activity over the past 24 months, PE firms now face the added challenge of running out of time to exit long-held assets. With continuation funds falling out of favor with many LPs, viable exit options are becoming increasingly scarce. **FYI: I strive to be a pretty jovial person so I promise, I'm not writing this post to be a Debbie Downer to my PE friends. Here's why I'm posting this: Over the past few months, our team at PARKRESILIENCE has been working directly with sponsors to offer a rather obvious solution: quick, quiet transactions at fair market value for long-hold assets. Simple, right? Our approach has been very well-received, largely due to these three reasons: 1. Speed: We aim to close deals within 60-90 days from our first conversation, giving sponsors a fast and efficient path to liquidity. 2. No Outside Investors: We invest private family capital, which means we don't need outside approvals or to adhere to a rigid investment mandate. This gives us the flexibility to invest in more unique situations and structure deals that work best for everyone. 3. Fair Market Value: We offer fair market terms that reflect the true value of the business—i.e. we’re not here to steal deals. So, to all of my PE friends in the network, if you are facing limited exit opportunities with a mature portfolio company, we should absolutely discuss how PARKRESILIENCE can offer a timely and reliable exit strategy for the business. #PrivateEquity #ExitStrategies #ParkResilience #ForeignInvestment #OffMarketDeals #PEExits
