Bain & Co: Expect distributions to fall

Consultancy says private equity firms have largely cleared the backlog of companies they need to sell

Investors should expect distributions from their private equity managers to “drop significantly” over the coming years as the boom in exits cools, according to a report from consultancy Bain & Co.

Investors have received a whopping $650 billion of capital back from their private equity managers during the past five year and paid out only $300 billion in capital calls to private equity managers since 2011, according to the Bain & Co Global Private Equity Report released on February 22.
