  • The IVCA-EY Monthly PE/VC Roundup – 1H2021
    In today’s frenetic world, how does private equity set the pace? Learn how EY helps private equity professionals thrive in the Transformative Age The IVCA-EY monthly PE/VC roundup – 1H2021 The better the question. The better the answer. The better the world works. Our thoughts Indian. PE/VC investment activity grew at a record setting pace throughout 1H21 and the deal pipeline indicates that this pace is only going to intensify as 2021 progresses. Both “1H21 and 2Q21 notched up life-time highs for pure-play PE/VC investments at US$21.9 billion and US$14.1 billion respectively. While, deal activity has been hectic, activity in both large deals (US$100m+) as well as mid-market deals (US$20-100 m) and growth deals continue to be the mainstay, the material increase in buyout and start-up deals are the growth drivers when we compare PE asset class data to the previous two six-month periods. In 1H21, PE/VC interest has been overweight on technology, e-commerce, financial services, pharmaceuticals, education and media and entertainment, sectors which have either gained on account of COVID or have demonstrated resilience to or a quick bounce back from the pandemic and its aftereffects. Conversely, PE/VC investments in infrastructure and real estate asset classes and the retail and consumer products sector have shown a material decline compared to the previous six-month period. PE/VC exit activity is also on track to notch up a record setting year. With ~U$22.5 billion of exits in the first six months and several large deals in pipeline, 2021 is expected to materially eclipse 2018’s high of US$27 billion.
