Analysis of deal types in the sector shows growth focus of private debt transactions and the symbiotic relationship between private equity and private debt. Almost half (43%) of private debt transactions were in support of buyouts, with a further 24% to finance an add-on acquisition, and 22% were to finance business growth.
