Private equity deal activity and exits have increased steadily due to inflated prices, high yields, low interest rates, and strong cash flows. Information technology and consumer products sectors have seen significant private equity investment growth. Private equity firms are holding investments longer rather than seeking quick exits, as many portfolio companies wish to remain private. Special purpose acquisition company IPOs boomed in 2020 but require oversight, while private equity fundraising amounts grew but the number of funds dropped in 2020 and 2021, with fewer but larger funds raised.
