Castiglioni (HAT) at M&A Circus: Short-term fundraising decline, but investors are increasingly drawn to private capital.

For private equity, the post-Covid period will indeed see a decrease in activity, but ‘not in investor interest, driven by the same motivations as the post-pandemic era, namely, the decoupling of private capital from market volatility and the pursuit of additional returns, which is the objective of all portfolio managers,’ explains Ignazio Castiglioni (pictured), CEO of Hat SGR, guest of the 15th episode of M&A Circus.
