Private equity's ongoing allure

Growth in the private equity industry may have slowed, but the industry still attracts investors. Here’s why.

Max Burger-Calderon, chairman of Apax Partners Asia, Philip Hammarskjold, managing director at Hellman & Friedman, and Conor Kehoe, a McKinsey director, explain some of the underlying reasons for private equity’s appeal.
