February 2024 — By Harbor View Advisors
We conducted our second annual survey, engaging active lower-middle market private equity funds across the United States. The survey allowed us to gather insights into prevailing buyer sentiments about market activity expectations in 2024.
Following a relatively subdued dealmaking climate in 2023, lower-middle market investors are now gearing up to deploy capital more assertively. There seems to be a shift from the add-on acquisition trend of 2023 to what appears to be the emergence of the “year of the platform” in 2024. This shift of focus is expected to result in a notable increase of private equity-backed assets entering the market, contributing to a rise in deal volume compared to the previous year.
