Is optimism warranted as we close the first half of 2023? The performance of equity markets in H1 could suggest so. Stocks have rallied as the macro environment has provided a relatively good mix of rapidly falling inflation with growth holding up and the largest part of rate hikes in this cycle now behind us. The latter effect seems to be driving sentiment, although central bankers have been clear that their inflation job is making progress but is not complete. In the second half of the year, investors will witness economies that are slowing as credit conditions deteriorate and financial stress coming and going on a regular basis.

While 2022 ended with a surge in investment activity, 2023 has begun with a whimper. Driven by continued macro uncertainty around increasing interest rates, untamed inflation and questionable growth, private equity managers have largely slowed down their investment pace. Investment activity was less than half that of the first quarter of 2022.
Meanwhile, exit activity was down by the same proportion, albeit off an already low base.

Inflation has made a marked comeback this year with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine early in 2022, combined with the worldwide easing of restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, pushing commodity and energy prices much higher. These inflationary forces are having knock-on effects throughout the economy, dampening growth expectations.
