Private equity raised an all-time record amount of capital in 2017. Fueled by low yields and investors' willingness to forgo traditional risk protections, it is expected to play a growing role in financial markets. But industry leaders are split on whether the size of the funds and dry powder constitute a bubble. Will the golden age of private equity continue? Or has the market turned a corner? How would global markets absorb all of that cash? And as the number of public-traded companies shrink, will private equity become the more popular market? How will interest rates impact the deals that have been financed with cheap debt?

Robert Smith is a wonderful example of what opportunity is all about. Goldman Sachs was lucky that he joined them briefly.

Thanks for posting, but the video has poor sound balancing (and it seems the mics didn't work well).

[@paulak6625]

This is not about global outlook on PE, panelists just talk about what they do. Disappointing!
