Winston Sponsors the Seventh Private Equity Forum

Winston & Strawn proudly sponsored the seventh Private Equity Europe Forum in London hosted by Markets Group.

The forum gathered investors, fund managers, and advisers for an intensive day of discussions on sectors, due diligence, and private equity investment opportunities both in Europe and globally. It provided a vital platform for European and international pension funds, foundations, endowments, fund of funds, family offices, wealth managers, consultants, and sovereign wealth funds to conduct direct research on private investment opportunities.

Session topics covered a variety of private equity investments, including sector-specific discussions, global buyout opportunities, and roundtables featuring leading institutional investors sharing their investment appetites.

Representing Winston at the event, Paris partner Mounir Letayf engaged in an insightful onstage interview with Christopher Masek, CEO of IK Partners. Their conversation, titled “Private Equity Investing Amidst a Changing World,” discussed how the evolving global economic landscape has impacted the private equity industry and highlighted the most pressing challenges faced today. They also examined how fundraising strategies have been adjusted in response to these changes, considering new metrics that should be prioritized. Furthermore, they explored how this shift in focus has influenced investment strategies and the ways in which these approaches have evolved over time.
