15:00 Community forum: Are co-investments & direct deals a game-changer for Private Equity?

Will the rise in co-investment and direct deal activity will continue and irrevocably change the GP/LP relationship?

What is the impact of co-investments and direct deal now, and what will it be in 5-10 years’ time?
This team debate will see an industry expert propose that as LPs skill up and acquire the sophistication and resources to conduct co-investments and direct deals successfully the relationship between GPs and LPs has been substantially altered. The speaker will be opposed by another industry expert, and the audience will vote for the most compelling argument at the end.
