Silver Lake’s Charles Giancarlo Predicts PE Future

Silver Lake Partners is considered the biggest private equity firm focused on technology. The firm has an estimated $14 billion in assets under management. Silver Lake Partner’s Managing Director, Charles Giancarlo, spoke on Bloomberg News about the outlook for private equity, giving his view from a technology investor’s perspective.

Giancarlo was expected to lead Cisco but chose instead to work with Silver Lake Partners. He believes that new inventions and technologies will lead the economic recovery. He says what most commentators have said, that private equity deals will be back but with significantly less debt. About halfway through the video Giancarlo gives a very clear explanation for why private equity firms aren’t doing deals despite very low equity values.
