Why Now’s the Time to Lean into Small Market Buyouts

When the economy shrinks, institutions tend to seek reassurance from larger, more established private equity fund managers. This comes at the expense of small, emerging and by extension, diverse managers, which some regard as riskier than their larger, “more proven” counterparts. In this episode of RPM, Daniel Krikorian, a principal on our private equity team, joins co-host Michael Venne to discuss why investors should fight the urge to cut back on SBO and if anything, lean in. They discuss:

  • Attractive features of SBO (01:30);
  • Market volatility’s effect on SBO (11:30);
  • Challenges SBO can present (16:46); and
  • How diversity ties into SBO (19:44).
