Permira Advisers

Chris Davison, a partner who serves on the firm’s operations committee, will leave the European giant at the end of the year, PEI understands.

PEI spoke to managers from across the private equity landscape to learn what changes are in store over the next 12 months.

Megafunds raised between Q1-Q3 this year include vehicles by CVC Capital Partners, Apollo, Permira and Warburg Pincus.

José Luis Molina, chief executive of the Madrid-headquartered asset manager, talks to Private Equity International off the back of its stake sale to Permira.

Permira worked closely with LSNE’s management team to scale the healthcare contract manufacturing business and grow its international footprint.

The high cost of operations, capital constraints and an attraction to specialists are all factors driving M&A activity among PE firms.

The PE giant is bullish on an M&A surge in 2022, with bilateral deals deemed the safer route as investors flee high-risk public listings.

MidEuropa, Partners Group, European Investment Bank and others say valuations of underlying companies could be affected.
