As we edge closer to 2025, the landscape of private equity is witnessing significant trends that are reshaping investment strategies worldwide, including here in Australia. If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of private equity and how to harness its potential for wealth creation, the Emergence Conference is your gateway. 

5 Trends Shaping Investment Opportunities in Private Equity

Here are five key trends that are setting the stage for what promises to be an intriguing year in private equity:

1. Lower Minimum Investment Product Offerings for High Net Worth Individuals (HNWs)

The democratisation of private equity is on the rise, with more funds lowering their entry barriers to accommodate high-net-worth individuals. This trend allows a broader investor base to access what was once an exclusive asset class. At Emergence 2025, we’ll delve into how this shift is creating new opportunities for individual investors to partake in private equity deals traditionally reserved for institutional investors.

2. The Greatest Wealth Transition: Baby Boomers and Succession Planning

The significant demographic shift with Baby Boomers entering retirement is prompting a massive wealth transition. This isn’t just about inheritance; it’s about businesses looking for succession or exits and will be a multi-trillion dollar opportunity. Our panel will discuss strategies for engaging with this sector, offering insights on how to benefit from or assist in these transitions.

3. Acquiring Profitable Software Companies

There’s a noticeable uptick in private equity interest towards profitable software companies, driven by the recognition of their scalability, recurring revenue models, and the digital transformation wave across industries. At the conference, experts will share their experiences and tactics for identifying and acquiring such ventures, highlighting why this sector could be a goldmine for investors in 2025.

4. The Forever Acquisition Model

The “Forever Acquisition” model refers to businesses that are built to be continuously acquired, focusing on longevity rather than short-term flips. This strategy is gaining traction as companies look to remain private and grow through strategic acquisitions. Discussions at Emergence will explore how this model affects investment strategies, offering a long-term perspective on private equity investments.

5. Understanding Search Funds

Search Funds are becoming an exciting avenue for entrepreneurial investors looking to acquire and manage businesses. They represent a unique model where an entrepreneur raises capital to search for, acquire, and operate a company. Our session will provide an in-depth look into how these funds operate, their risks, and the potential rewards, offering attendees a chance to consider whether this could be part of their investment thesis.

Why Are Fewer Companies Going Public?

The number of companies listing on the ASX has declined, driven by access to private capital, regulatory burdens, and market volatility. However, public markets still offer liquidity, visibility, and robust capital-raising opportunities.
