Private equity investors, including Advent International's Johanna Barr, are facing pressure to expedite exits to retrieve their investments earlier. While challenges exist in exiting certain investments, Barr believes rate cuts could provide clarity on asset pricing and boost deal activity, with a strong pipeline of exits to trade buyers. Despite a sluggish start this year, the industry anticipates a rebound in dealmaking. Other industry leaders like Ares Management's Matt Cwiertnia and Morgan Stanley Investment Management's David Miller share similar sentiments, while Apollo Global Management Inc.'s Scott Kleinman warns of lower valuations and potentially reduced returns.
