What is the current sentiment in US PE with all things going on?
EU-based PE investor here. Naturally, I follow developments in the US closely, given how much they shape global sentiment. One thing that consistently holds true in this industry: people dislike uncertainty. When the outlook gets cloudy, risk appetite tends to shrink fast. I have seen the "let’s wait and see how this plays out" mindset stall more than a few promising moves.
We are already seeing the ripple effects here in Europe. Two of our portfolio companies recently pulled back on major initiatives, including a planned US market entr.
