Global M&A trends in private capital: 2025 outlook
For private capital, a buoyant 2025 M&A outlook marked by growing sector convergence and stringent focus on value creation.
Overview
Sovereign Investment Funds (SIF) are state-owned and backed investors including Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF), state-backed investment arms, and public pension funds (PPF).
PwC is a leading advisor to this global investor community. With hubs in Abu Dhabi, Singapore, New York, and London, PwC’s global Sovereign Investment Fund team advises government agencies and Sovereign funds themselves on transactions and investment structuring, capital allocation strategies, operating models and portfolio value creation.
SIFs are expected to play an increasingly influential role at a local, regional and global level. That growth will be overwhelmingly influenced by three megatrends: digitisation, decarbonisation and deglobalisation.
