PE.Analyzer Private Equity Recovery Rates Based on 34,743 companies from 2,235 funds and $1.5 trillion of private capital IRR, Multiple and Default Benchmarking also in PE.Analyzer Variations exist between regions, sectors and strategies (buyout, growth, venture, private debt, infrastructure) Default rates remain flat indicating no increases in market stress 2015 data is too early to comment on due to lag in outcomes Comment: "With concern of overheating markets this is great news and shows GPs are working hard to preserve value in their investments. By maintaining discipline and negotiating stronger covenants, GPs show they learned the lessons from the credit crisis. Further good news is that Default Rates are largely flat since 2010 and don't indicate any increased market stress, thus our outlook for private markets remains positive despite pricing and leverage pressures."
