Taking Stock: Global Private Equity Perspectives

 

View our newsletter here.

Welcome to the latest Taking Stock, our sector-specific newsletter offering fresh perspectives and updates on the private equity market.

In this update, our Private Equity team looks at what's ahead for the industry this year, having set record highs in 2021, and explores how the Cayman Islands intends to tackle green washing in relation to investment funds. We review Hong Kong's updated SPAC regime, which came into effect in January 2022, and report on how a game-changing transaction could open up a raft of new opportunities for mergers and acquisitions in Jersey. Plus, our Luxembourg team earns outstanding praise for its PE work.
