Please join the Chicago Booth Finance Roundtable for a lively discussion on a wide range of topics pertaining to the current state of the private equity industry.
Event Details
According to Prequin data, private equity coffers reached a record high of $1.073 trillion globally at the end of 2013, which is $130 billion more than 2012. That amount has continued to balloon to $1.141 trillion globally at the start of June. That is a lot of dry powder competing for assets to acquire.
