Publicly listed markets are 'losing out on compelling investments' - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Almost all (97%) private markets fund managers questioned agree that increases in companies remaining privately-held and a rise in lending outside the traditional banking sector mean that many of the most compelling investments are no longer available on publicly listed markets."
"Currently around 88% of the 159,000 firms globally with revenues of more than $100 million are privately-held. The study found nearly nine out of 10 (87%) of private market fund managers expect that percentage to increase."
Research from Wealth Club indicates a pivot away from publicly listed markets as compelling investments shift towards private companies. Ninety-seven percent of private market fund managers surveyed believe that the trend of companies remaining privately-held is on the rise, due to changes in lending practices. It reports that 88% of firms with revenues exceeding $100 million are privately owned, with 87% of fund managers anticipating this figure to grow. Nearly half predict a dramatic rise in the transition away from public listings in the next five years and an increase in assets managed within private equity, credit, and real estate sectors.
