The Private Equity Exit Drought Explained

Ted Seides — the founder and voice of Capital Allocators — joined Greg Hall on Accrued Interest to “zoom out” from the headlines and talk about larger trends and dynamic shifts he thinks will influence investing for the next decade. The conversation had no script, ranging from equity index composition, to structural changes in private equity, to the ongoing tribulations of the direct lending market. It’s a great chat with a fascinating market observer, and a good opportunity to step away from the newsfeed and think big picture.
