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.
Big agreed. It doesn't matter if you deploy all your capital and can't exit / financial engineer the crap to make a modest return.

The asset class is in a long-term bear market. Killing it = surviving for many funds. And for us PE professionals, it means keeping your seat. Keep those dreams of fat carry checks for late 2020s and early 2030s. Much of our co-invest is currently underwater. We have seniors who are leveraged to their coinvest. God speed
