This two-part Knowledge at Wharton podcast looks at key trends in private equity, including a rising emphasis on organic revenue growth versus financial engineering, a shifting view of mergers, acquisitions and initial public offerings, changing management roles, and a return to normalcy regarding limited partners expectations. Those partners once again expect investments to be returned to them within the three-to-seven-year time horizon that existed before the financial crisis, thanks to a better environment for exits. Stephen M. Sammut, a senior fellow and lecturer at Wharton, and Michael Rogers, EY’s global deputy private equity leader, help shed light on these and related issues.
