Bain and StepStone Forecast 2026 Private Equity Deal Challenges and <a href="https://laohu8.com/S/LQDT">Liquidity</a> Shifts

StepStone Group and Bain & Company published their inaugural 2026 Private Equity GP Outlook, based on a survey of more than 100 buyout investment and investor relations professionals. The report says valuation disagreements were the top reason deals failed to close in 2025, while GPs are increasingly prioritizing operational value creation, including the use of AI, as multiple expansion becomes less reliable. It also finds continuation vehicles are becoming more common as firms look to improve liquidity and return capital, and notes growing fee pressure and discounting that could reshape fund economics.
