It’s difficult to fathom that we are roughly one year out from the declaration that COVID-19 was a global pandemic. Despite living through a year that started out with so much uncertainty, the investment community and our clients have persevered.

2020 was a year of adaptation and change, including fundamental shifts to virtual fundraising and investment due diligence. While some struggled with the inability to meet in person, the vast majority were able to pivot quickly, leading to another trillion-dollar year for private capital dry powder. Deal volumes remained consistent with 2019 levels.

As we head into spring, there is a growing sense of optimism that we will soon return to normal, with the majority of respondents to our Q1 client survey indicating that they plan to adopt a hybrid work model going forward. In addition, investors will undoubtedly build on the increased productivity and efficiencies they gained from the switch to virtual. Looking ahead, we see great opportunity for our clients to become even more agile operators.

Since the Great Recession, private equity (PE) firms have benefited from the low cost of capital and the consistent rise in public and private valuations.

The 10-year Treasury rate has risen over 230% from the lows of August and equities have consequently paused. However, PE firms are continuing to accelerate their investments, as they have the dry powder to take advantage of distressed assets and return them to form. During the 2002 and 2009 economic downturns, PE firms averaged internal rates of return (IRR) between 17% and 21%, a healthy premium to the 16% long-term PE average, according to Bain & Company’s 2021 Global Private Equity Report.

Still, the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery has altered the investment model. Moving forward, we believe firms will be more focused on operational transformation than ever before.

The Future of Work for Private Equity

For the PE industry, the value of being office-based was clear: This model helped establish stronger relationships with clients and better trained the next generation.

The COVID-19 pandemic drove an immediate shift in the way we work. This forced experiment led management teams across the country to reconsider their operating models going forward.

We now observe four prominent work models. In remote-only, employees are remote full-time and likely geographically distributed. With remote-first, remote is the primary option and select employees are office-based. In a hybrid model, employees work remotely one to four days a week. Finally, some firms will return to the office as before.

Many respondents are still determining new office policies, including when they will return to travel. For some, it has been business as usual since the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic passed.

Fundraising Steady as Firms Adapt

Client responses to our survey indicate that while many experienced a slow start to fundraising in the COVID-19 era, their efforts are now going strong. Video conferencing has been the key enabler of this strength, though it does not fully replace in-person meetings. While there have been more conversions, they lack depth.

New limited partners (LPs) typically prefer to meet in person. With that option off the table, many preferred reupping with existing general partners (GPs) rather than engaging new ones. Many are contemplating increasing their commitment sizes relative to prior funds.

For their part, many GPs raised bigger fundsand found interest very strong. By contrast, newer funds and emerging managers found it more difficult to engage new LPs.

Surprisingly, GPs took about the same time to raise a fund in 2020 as they did in 2019, despite lockdowns and travel restrictions. From Q3 onward, time to raise reduced rapidly. GPs expect this trend to continue, with the planned time between raises lower than it has been for the last five years. However, this shift may also be due to the overall increase in the time to close a fund.

In an uncertain macro backdrop, LPs committed far more cash to large funds than they did to their smaller counterparts, as measured by the average LP commitment to all new funds that raised in the second half of 2020 that SVB banks.

This dynamic created a challenging fundraising environment for emerging managers, and first-time managers had their lowest fundraising efforts since 2013. However, their percentage of funds raised was proportional to the previous five years.

In 2021, as vaccine allocations increase, travel restrictions ease and investors relocate back to their offices, we anticipate fundraising will return to pre-COVID-19 levels. GPs and LPs will have both the skill set and the Rolodex to raise virtually, as well as the benefit of traditional, face-to-face meetings.

Investment Recovers From COVID-19

During the pandemic, due diligence became much more thorough and formal. Many relied on consultants, industry experts and members of their network to kick the tires on targets. For sought-after companies, diligence happened much earlier in the process, even before exclusivity was in place. Firms also added a layer of due diligence to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on revenue and operations. A few GPs added environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria to the review process.

Of course, building rapport with management was more difficult without the ability to meet face to face. Investment teams had to get comfortable moving forward on opportunities without meeting the management team in person.

Still, the most common reason for not closing on a deal was high valuations/pricing (74% of respondents).

PE Investors Creep Into Venture Capital

The line between PE and venture capital (VC) continues to blur. While PE firms investing alongside VCs once represented a small portion of PE activity, it has now become more common (on an absolute deal basis). The buyout fund participation rate has gradually declined as VC-backed company valuations have risen, as buyout funds are more price sensitive. At the same time, PE growth funds have increased their level of participation.

The healthcare sector garnered a lot of PE attention, with both deals and dollars jumping significantly in 2020. Tech continued to attract PE, though investment growth outpaced growth in the number of deals due to the PE focus on late-stage deals. When indexed to 2016, PE investment in late-stage deals increased approximately 65%, while investment in early-stage deals fell after a 2018 spike.

Perhaps related, many in the industry used co-investing to capitalize on additional (larger) market opportunities. PE firms also used opportunity and continuation funds to hold on to strong performing investments.

EV/Revenue Multiples for US LBOs

For US leveraged buyouts (LBOs), the range of debt-to-equity ratios increased in 2020, suggesting firms were using more debt (leverage). This shift makes sense as interest rates were at historical lows, helping to offset the rising cost of equity. Debt-to-EBITDA ratios have declined over the past few years, signifying better target fundamentals, as the COVID-19 pandemic forced companies to shore up their balance sheets and extend their cash runways.

Simultaneously, the multiples that PE firms pay for private companies have risen consistently. The median revenue multiple grew 50% from 2016 to 2019, while the median EBITDA multiple grew 46% over the same period.

This past year provided the market an opportunity to invest at a slight discount to 2019. However, as recovery continues and the US fully reopens, the opportunity is likely to be short-lived.

US PE Exits by Type1

Total PE Exits Fall, but Signs of Improvement

2020 was a tale of two halves. The pandemic slowed exit velocity in the first half of the year. However, as the public markets rebounded, so did PE-backed exits. US PE exits accelerated by 30%, and exit value increased by 95% from H1 2020 to H2 2020.

IPOs surged as investor demand for growth combined with improved sector/company performance (especially in the technology sector).

Within the exit ecosystem, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) have become viable mechanisms for bringing private companies to market. The lower cost of execution vs. IPOs, the speed to market, the investor assurance and the higher sale prices have made them attractive options. Already, the number of SPAC transactions in 2021 has surpassed 2020, which had been a record year.

Currently, the investment flywheel is in full effect. As earlier-than-anticipated liquidity events occur for GPs and LPs, distributions will increase, giving LPs more capital to allocate to GPs for future investments.

Additional Comments From Your PeersSelected thoughts from survey respondents

Working Remotely• Back-to-office and travel strategies are still very much in

flux. We don’t yet have firm plans for either.

• Our general partnership feels strongly that physical proximity is important to the apprenticeship model of developing new investors. We are starting to build a track record that enables virtual LP relations and fundraising, but still hope to nurture in-person relationships in future fundraises.

• When it is safe to travel again, we will meet as a team in some frequency at various locations since we are now working remotely.

• Looking forward to seeing everyone in person again!

Investing• We didn’t know how the lockdown would impact the economy

and investing, just like we don’t know how the exit from lockdown will play out. Don’t panic, stay flexible and stick to the basics: Invest for the long run in good companies/founders at reasonable valuations.

• We have a greater focus on the cybersecurity space.

• The secondaries space is seeing a higher volume of GP-led restructurings compared to the traditional LP portfolios.
