About this listen
Private Equity enters 2026 not as a year of pause, but one of precision. The industry is still working through a lingering liquidity overhang, even as exit markets begin, cautiously, to turn. With distributions under pressure, secondaries have taken on renewed importance as a critical release valve, alongside trade sales and a gradually thawing IPO market, helping to restore cash flows and confidence. This episode explores what that means in practice, and where precision matters most.
Alpha is no longer the product of financial leverage alone. It is earned through operational excellence, sustained EBITDA growth and disciplined buy-and-build strategies, as AI emerges as a defining fault line between genuine value creators and value destroyers.
2026 takes shape not as a vintage to avoid, but one that demands selectivity, speed and conviction.
We’re joined by: Pascal Christory - CEO, Prime, BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts, and Marcus Thiel - CIO & Global Head of Customized Solutions, BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts.
