  • How Will Financial Services Private Equity Investments Fare in the Next Recession?
    How Will Financial Services Private Equity Investments Fare in the Next Recession? Leading funds are shifting to balance-sheet-light and countercyclical investments. By Tim Cochrane, Justin Miller, Michael Cashman and Mike Smith Tim Cochrane, Justin Miller, Michael Cashman and Mike Smith are partners with Bain & Company’s Financial Services and Private Equity practices. They are based, respectively, in London, New York, Boston and London. Copyright © 2019 Bain & Company, Inc. All rights reserved. How Will Financial Services Private Equity Investments Fare in the Next Recession? At a Glance Financial services deals in private equity have grown on the back of strong returns, including a pooled multiple on invested capital of 2.2x in recent years, higher than all but healthcare and technology deals. With a recession increasingly likely during the next holding period, PE funds need to develop plans to weather any storm and potentially improve their competitive position during and after the downturn. Many leading funds are investing in balance-sheet-light assets enabled by technology and regulatory change. Diligences now should test target companies under stressful economic scenarios and lay out a detailed value-creation plan, including how to mobilize quickly after acquisition. Financial services deals by private equity funds have had a strong run over the past few years, with deal value increasing significantly in Europe and the US(see Figure 1). Returns have been strong as well. Global financial services deals realized a pooled multiple on invested capital of 2.2x from 2009 through 2015, higher than all but healthcare and technology deals (see Figure 2).
