Private Equity Sector Grapples with Liquidity Crisis

Private equity faced liquidity squeeze 2023-2024 as high rates crushed buyout model, IPO market closed, and M&A fell 30 percent.

The private equity industry experienced an unprecedented liquidity crisis between 2023 and 2024.

High interest rates directly impacted the leveraged buyout model that forms the core of the industry. Rising financing costs caused new deal volume to plummet dramatically. The IPO market nearly closed entirely. M&A activity declined 30 percent.

Investors in funds could not exit positions, a phenomenon called the denominator effect that severely impacted university endowments and pension funds. The industry explored continuation funds and secondary market funds as innovative solutions. Industry leaders believe interest rate normalization and economic recovery are critical to resolving the crisis.
