A Perspective on the Private Markets

What We Learned

Ontra surveyed 400 professionals in private equity, private credit, real estate asset management, and infrastructure investment about trends from 2022, expectations for 2023, and what legal process pain points are keeping them up at night.

We also analyzed proprietary data on the number of NDAs that private equity, venture capital, and credit investors negotiated over the past three years to forecast where the market for dealmaking is heading later in 2023.

• Employees spend a significant amount of their workweek negotiating NDAs, to the detriment of other work.
• Firms are worried about managing contract obligation compliance.
• Asset managers see fewer economic headwinds in 2023.
