Group recently surveyed institutional allocators, including Public Pension
Funds, Endowments, and Foundations, in the Great Plains region. This survey was
conducted in conjunction with our 10th Annual Great Plains Institutional Forum
held in Minneapolis. The aim was to gather insights on how these institutions
are navigating current economic and political challenges in their investment
strategies.
Last week, our Private Equity Europe London 2024 forum gathered over 300 private equity powerhouses from across the European region to dive deep into the opportunities—and obstacles—shaping the future of private equity. From heated discussions on navigating fundraising in choppy waters to tech-driven innovation reshaping the industry, this wasn’t your average PE event. It was more like a masterclass in the art of the deal.
