As LPs experience lower distribution in the APAC region, they are increasingly veering towards a cautionary approach while backing region-focused fund managers, especially the first-time ones. But LPs may not miss out on the Asia growth and recovery story as they balance their capital allocations. With a reasonably weak exit landscape across several Asian markets, how will the region deliver returns to private capital investors? Will the macro tailwinds continue to make APAC a case for investments with strong potential to deliver returns in the long term?
