2022 / 2023 is shaping up to be some pretty bad years for PE fundraising. Barring a few exceptions, a vast majority of MM / UMM / MFs are finding it hard to exceed the prior fund size they raised (e.g., Caryle, Blackstone, Apollo - all publicly hinted at). Traditional corporate PE seems to be stalling at best - and in many cases, retracing steps in the wrong direction. One obvious consequence of this is on career progression (significantly harder to advance to partner if the fund is stagnating or going the wrong way).
So with that in mind - what are the areas within "PE" that are seeing growth / or can be expected to see growth over the next 5-10 years? Some thoughts to kick it off -
1. Infrastructure
2. Climate Transition
3. ESG / Impact
4. Mezzanine / 'special situation' funds with a hybrid equity + debt like flavor
5. Sector specific funds (although this is more or less in the same flavor as traditional Corporate PE)
6. LMM / regional funds
