It’s a common misconception, but I don’t think I’d necessarily associate capital deployment with “killing it”. Just look at 2021 for example. But, if you’re tapped into the market, maybe you at least have insight into the quality of assets that Sponsors are buying and the multiples.
True, killing it could include exits as well.
