Dry Powder: The Private Equity Podcast

We ask the Co-President of Ares what’s really happening in the private credit market, the advantages of being a scale player, and where he sees performance dispersion among managers. 

We asked six leading investors at Vista, Hg, Advent, CVC, KKR, and Apollo where AI is creating value today—and what it will take to unlock the next wave of transformations. 

In part two of our interview with Advent’s Managing Partner, we explore how the firm is navigating longer holding periods, harder exits, and rapid technological change — while staying true to its core. 

We ask Advent’s Managing Partner and Co-Head of North America how they’ve combined deep sector expertise with true global scale. 

In part two of our interview series with the CEO of CVC, we explore how they’re navigating one of the toughest fundraising markets in decades, their firm-wide embrace of AI and why he considers Europe one of the world’s most compelling markets for generating alpha.
