PitchBook's Q1 2024 US PE Breakdown showed some interesting insights about the start of the year. Here are a few key things to note:

🔹 The total US PE exit value decreased 19% QoQ in Q1 2024, despite a brief surge at the end of 2023.

🔹 Sluggish exit activity could negatively impact PE’s capital formation due to high interest rates, limited deal activity, and pricing gaps.

🔹 Sponsor-to-sponsor exits hit a 10-year low, which reflects ongoing pricing gap challenges.

🔹 The industry is shifting towards continuation funds to extend exit timelines and offer LPs more liquidity.

🔹IPOs remain a minority in total PE exit activity.
