Private Equity Perspectives on Energy

Session Description: The energy transition is reshaping dealmaking and portfolio strategy across middle-market PE but the reality on the ground rarely matches the headlines. This panel brings together operators, counsel and institutional investors to cut through the noise: from LP decarbonization mandates to the enduring economics of well-run domestic O&G assets. A frank conversation about where middle-market energy PE actually stands heading into the back half of the decade.

Capital Formation in a Selective Market

Session Description: As fundraising cycles lengthen and LPs exercise greater selectivity, IR teams are rethinking how they engage, communicate and retain their investor base. This panel explores how middle-market GPs are adapting their capital formation strategies. From evolving LP profiles and co-investment appetite to the growing influence of family offices and non-traditional allocators. Panelists will discuss what LPs are asking for now, how the bar for transparency and reporting has shifted and what separates funds that close efficiently from those that don’t.
