Growth equity has become one of private
equity’s fastest-growing segments in recent years, but today’s market uncertainty has slowed that momentum: 2022 was a year of disruption. Investors faced a multitude of downside risks, including geopolitical tension, energy and food scarcity, rising inflation and interest rates, stock market volatility, and supply challenges triggered by the war in Ukraine and the legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the present point in the economic cycle, there
is no clear-cut path to expansion, profitability,
or resilience.
