2025 Highlights
Private markets are here to stay. This was the take-home message of S&P Global Ratings' second European Private Markets Conference on Oct. 7, 2025, in London. Europe is increasingly coming to the fore, with private market investors seeking new opportunities beyond the U.S.
As Head of EMEA Corporate and Infrastructure Ratings Michael Seewald put it in his opening remarks: "To say the least, markets have been quite constructive this year."
Key Highlights:
- Private credit is becoming increasingly important in financing the real economy, as private lenders step in to bridge the funding gap.
- Middle-market collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) continue their upward trajectory, with Europe trailing behind the U.S.
- The fundraising slowdown in private equity continues, even though realizations are beginning to materialize.
