Conclusion
The main risk to financial stability of the private equity sector appears to relate to its role in the
leverage loans market. However, it is unclear where the burden for the
excessive rate of growth of
the leveraged loans market should lie with private equity funds or banks.
Other than this, features of private equity are benign. Funds do not face redemption risk or fire
sale risk. And, while portfolio companies of private equity funds may be highly leveraged, this is
less likely to have impacts on financial
stability compared to if, say, highly leveraged hedge funds.
