Navigating private equity investments during uncertainty: THL Partners Co-CEO Scott Sperling

Yahoo Finance published this video item, entitled “Navigating private equity investments during uncertainty: THL Partners Co-CEO Scott Sperling” – below is their description.

Economic and market uncertainties pervade while the next fiscal year is visible on the horizon and investors are looking for insight into where to find growth potential. THL Partners Co-CEO Scott Sperling sits down with Yahoo Finance’s Seana Smith to discuss how to navigate the world of private equity, sharing how to best analyze specific sectors to find growth potential, and what investors should keep vigilant of as economic woes are compounded by prolonged recession risks.

“Looking for places where the secular growth drivers are very strong and sustainable for 10-20 years, I think in this environment, provides a lot of opportunity,” Sperling explains on key points to navigating private equity picks.

When asked about the potential of AI investments, Sperling states: “We’re looking at generative AI, over what was more traditional AI, because of its power to do certain things that we’ve never seen before available. Where it is actually appropriate to utilize that technology to dramatically reduce the cost and improve the efficacy of efforts to provide a more automated way of doing a large number of business processes.”

Sperling goes on to also comment on inflation — believing it to end up with “more risk to upside than potential benefit for downside” — and recent antitrust objections from U.S. regulators.

In This Story: Inflation

In economics, inflation refers to a general progressive increase in prices of goods and services in an economy. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation corresponds to a reduction in the purchasing power of money.
