Outlook
Private equity funds are expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 10.2 percent from 2021 to 2027—reaching $7.6 trillion in value by December 2027, according to the alternative investment research firm Preqin. These statistics suggest that there should continue to be good opportunities for dealmakers—although it is exceptionally difficult to break into the field and advanced positions. Dealmakers with advanced education and experience with top funds will have the best job prospects.
