Fed is now likely cutting rates only twice in 2025
Any thoughts on this? How do you foresee this affecting the future of IB / PE / HF etc. as well as asset prices more generally?

This question sounds a lot more Prospect - IB and less Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
I mean obviously higher rates = higher cost of capital = lower valuations and less M&A. But everyone knows that. Just wanted to see if people had a long term outlook on those respective industries. For example, will PE shift from more financial engineering to more operationally focused strategies? more thematic investing? are there certain industries that are better positioned?
why would PE shift if rates are still going down? if there was really a pressure on strategies to change it would've happened at peak rates or am i misunderstanding your point
