Welcome to the second edition of our newsletter for 2024. As we step into the second half of 2024, we continue to carry the existing challenges that have influenced the private markets sector for some time. Macro environment, particularly interest rates, remains a concern. While the previous expectations of central banks moderating the rates did not yield results, inflation continues to remain an important indicator to keep a close watch on. Having said that, the rise of dry powder may spur an appetite for deal-making at some point.

Credit remains the buzzword as traditional banks foray into private credit, and lending in commercial real estate is gaining momentum. Climate change, which the extreme summers underscore, remains in focus and throws attention on commercial real estate and energy.

Like all our endeavours in the past for private markets, this newsletter aims to keep you updated on the sector. We hope you enjoy reading this edition.
