⚡️ Build something with Lovable ➡️➡️https://lovable.link/patrickboyle Private equity has long promised smooth returns, operational excellence, and sophisticated diversification. But behind the pitch decks and performance charts lies a growing crisis. In this video, we explore: 🔹 Why private equity firms are struggling to exit investments 🔹 The illusion of stability created by stale pricing 🔹 The role of leverage in driving returns — and fragility 🔹 The push into 401(k)s and what it means for retail investors 🔹 The rise of continuation funds, NAV loans, and other liquidity maneuvers 🔹 The social and regulatory backlash against PE roll-up strategies 🔹 What Bain, Buffett, and Cliff Asness really think about the model From inflated IRRs to collapsing portfolio companies, the cracks are starting to show. Is private equity still a smart bet — or just a sophisticated shell game?
