The €601bn Dutch pension administrator is willing to pursue earlier-stage investments, including taking a more proactive stance towards European VC, global co-head of PE Greg Jania tells PEI.

In today's edition, Nordic Capital says LPs want clarity around AI disruption risk; Blackstone's APAC fund close builds upon a regional rebound; Alaska's private markets doubts aren't denting its commitment(s).

Portfolio company CIOs in PE-backed companies play a critical role in maximising value through the alignment of technology to the investment thesis, say Deloitte’s Victoria Bovaird and Shalini Bhatia.

While recent AI disruption is yet to infiltrate the PEI 300 ranking, tech-focused managers must be sure to future-proof their operations.

A more deliberate collaboration between state and private capital is required if private equity is to fulfil its role in building a better society, writes Gareth Davies, UK shadow minister for business and trade.

The firm’s 15th flagship vehicle targets mid-market buyout opportunities primarily in North America, according to documents prepared for a recent LP meeting.

While some software businesses are poised to become stronger on the back of a wave of AI innovation, there will be others that suffer or become obsolete, says managing director Jeff Keay.
