  • Low interest rates have helped the private equity industry to flourish over the last 15 years, providing ample capital to finance deals. But a lot has changed in the last two years as rates have surged. This shift, however, will affect different parts of the market in different ways.
  • The thematically-driven and partnership-centric approach Federated Hermes’ private equity group operates provides a broad overview of various market segments. Out of the more than 700 deals the group sources each year, it selects 2-3% as candidates for investment.
