How GPs are getting creative to complete exits during the slowdown



The exit market continues to move at a sluggish pace, even as some indicators suggest a potential recovery may be on the horizon. However, GPs are far from being idle during these challenging times. In this issue of Real Deals, we explore the various adaptive strategies GPs have embraced in response to the current market conditions. These include continuation vehicles, buy-and-builds, co-investments, and a host of other creative approaches. These strategies may well become integral as GPs adapt to the "new normal".
