The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) classifies risk managers under the general category of “financial managers.” It predicts that employment for financial managers, including those who work for firms that manage funds, trusts, and other financial vehicles, will grow by 17 percent (much faster than average) through 2033. “Services provided by financial managers, such as planning, directing, and coordinating investments, are likely to stay in demand as the economy grows,” the DOL explains.
"After a two-year decline in private equity activity, 2024 witnessed a rebound in both private equity acquisitions and exits, though volumes were still well below pandemic-era levels," the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance stated in January 2025. "Total announced global private equity deal volume increased 22%, from $1.3 trillion in 2023 to $1.7 trillion in 2024. Many of the headwinds that private equity M&A faced over the prior two years—including elevated interest rates and tumultuous financial markets—abated or stabilized. At the same time, several years of stalled exits have led to record long investment holding periods, with sponsors having an average holding period of five years in 2023–2024, compared to 4.2 years in 2021–2022. Robust fundraising has also left sponsor dry powder levels near 2023’s historical peak."
