Woodruff Sawyer – Private Equity: Looking Ahead to 2025
The main theme of the report is the analysis of trends in the private equity industry with a forecast up to 2025.
It includes an analysis of market trends, insurance due diligence, and representations and warranties insurance (RWI). Key findings highlight the turbulent deal landscape of 2022 and 2023, with signs of improvement in 2024. Major trends include the optimization of insurance programs and employee benefits, the impact of deal structures on insurance strategies and benefits, and the high competitiveness of the RWI market in 2024. The transactional insurance market is experiencing stiff competition, reducing rates. The use of RWI in secondary deals continues, but further price reductions may be unsustainable, and claim activity is increasing.
