Private equity market slows down
The Gulf private equity market has slowed down as only one private equity deal worth more than $10 million took place in the region during the first quarter this year compared to four and nine deals during the fourth and third quarters respectively last year, according to statistics by Bain and Company.
Private equity investors are increasingly seeking more control over the way in which their cash is being invested, and managers are having to evolve and adapt to stay in business, industry experts said Tuesday.
