Where are the Next Opportunities to Unlock the Power of Private Equity in Emerging Markets?n How have global macroeconomic and geopolitical trends affected the environment for private equity in emerging
markets? Where are trends working in favor of private equity, and where are global forces holding the industry back?n In many emerging economies, strong growth opportunities can be hampered by barriers to accessing resources and
information, either through lack of infrastructure or through restrictive policies. How do successful fund managers approach these challenges to unlock the underlying opportunity set?
n Market driven returns are paramount to investors across all asset classes, but is there an increased focus on measurable social impact? How can private equity players effectively communicate the impact of the asset class on the business ecosystem in emerging markets?
n Do you see more or less opportunities for private equity in emerging markets now or five years ago? Where do you plan to focus? What concerns you?
