Deloitte Private Equity Index: Investors are trimming their sails to act on new opportunities - Highest confidence since April 2007
Alte stiri la aceasta categorie
Central Europe`s Private Equity (PE) professionals are more bullish today than since the confidence peak of April 2007, at the height of the pre-crisis boom. According to Deloitte, the increasing strength of such positive sentiment is based both on PE practitioners’ personal experience of increasing investment activity across the region and on strong GDP growth in countries with strong PE activities such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
These are some of the main findings of the latest edition of the Deloitte Central Europe Private Equity Confidence Survey, which has been tracking sentiment among the PE community bi-annually since 2003.
Deloitte Partner and M&A Transaction Services Leader Garret Byrne comments, “Does this mean that we’re on the verge of a powerful new era of deal-making? The signs are encouraging, with significantly more PE professionals expecting to buy more than they sell in the next few months, and 77% planning to spend the majority of their time focusing on new investments. Indeed, the scale of some of the deals that we outline in the report suggests we might already be entering such an era.”
Highlights of the findings include:
signs that gradual economic recovery is reflected in the attitudes and expectations of the CE region’s PE professionals;
more respondents than in October 2010 now either expect the economic environment to remain the same or to improve;
identifying new investments will be the primary focus of PE practitioners over the next six months;
for 74% of the respondents, there is a strong focus on the Visegrad Four (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) for future investment opportunities;
Manufacturing and Food & Beverage are the two most attractive sectors for new investment.
“One factor in this edition that I find particularly interesting is the significant rise in the proportion of professionals expecting competition among investors to be for growing and medium-sized companies,” states Garret (now at 49% of the sample). In October 2010, 74% were predicting most interest to be in defensive, market-leading stocks, however, there now appears to be a stronger appetite for risk and growth.
“This is a very encouraging sign, suggesting that the region’s PE professionals are trimming their sails in line with the wider environment to successfully identify and act on new opportunities with heightened confidence” says Garret.
