In this episode of Torys in 10, private equity partners Mike Akkawi and Guy Berman discuss some of the findings from PE Pulse, Torys’ private equity sentiment survey, the first survey of its kind in the Canadian market. In the podcast, the pair focus on two main takeaways from the survey, which took the opinions and market sentiments of over 100 private equity and pension fund players in Canada. 

The first takeaway is the large deal sizes the PE market saw in 2019 and the reported expectations that these deal sizes will stay the same or increase moving forward. The second is fundraising and how pension fund survey respondents said their allocation of private equity will either stay the same or increase throughout the year—this is in spite of the fact that many respondents said it was going to be more difficult to raise capital. Tune in for Mike and Guy’s full analysis on the survey.
