How untapped is emerging market PE at the moment?

I keep hearing about how the US PE market, even down to LMM, is quite saturate and there's too much money chasing too few good businesses. Is that the same in the EM world? Always been fascinated about learning about different countries and have thought about moving to Singapore and investing in businesses in South/South East Asia and China.

Private Equity LinkedIn Review

“Helpful session. We went through my LinkedIn profile line by line, and the feedback was honest and practical, not generic advice you could find online. A few things I thought were fine actually needed rewording, and once they pointed them out it made total sense. I also came away with some specific points to add that I hadn’t considered, especially around how I present my M&A and project finance experience. I’ve already started making changes and the profile feels a lot more polished. Thanks a lot!”

“I appreciated John sharing a list of headhunters after the session, which was useful. During the call, though, I had to ask very specific, in-depth questions to get any input, and the conversation felt one-directional. More proactive guidance and practical insights would make his sessions much more valuable for mentees.”
