Summary

- Liquidity issues have been a headwind for Europe-focused funds.
- Europe followed the trend of a decline in global private equity exits, which reached a five-year low of $392.48 billion in 2024, mainly due to a mismatch in valuation expectations between buyers and sellers.
- Private equity momentum in Europe will likely remain restrained in 2025, but European valuations are lower and also more rational compared to the US market in recent years, according to placement agent Reach Capital.
