HGGC’s Post

Yesterday, Hugh MacArthur, Chairman of our Global Private Equity practice, expertly moderated a panel discussion on the state of the #PrivateEquity industry at SuperReturn International. The esteemed panelists included Rich Lawson, CEO and Co-Founder of HGGC, Dr. Karim El Solh, CEO of Gulf Capital, Colm Lanigan, Managing Director and CIO of BlackRock, and Kosmo Kalliarekos, Private Capital Asia of EQT Group. The panelists delved into the issues surrounding the record amount of dry powder, stalled dealmaking, and lack of exit momentum within the private equity industry. They discussed various factors contributing to the slowdown in dealmaking and emphasized the importance of finding innovative solutions to jumpstart the capital flywheel and drive growth in the industry. #BainatSuperReturn
