Abstract

As a crucial component of capital markets, private equity investment is significantly influenced by macroeconomic indicators and demonstrates unique performance during economic fluctuations. The field extensively studies how macroeconomic factors such as inflation rates, interest rates, and exchange rates affect private equity investment strategies, returns, and risk management, as well as how private equity investors rapidly adjust their strategies to address market uncertainties triggered by economic crises and global public health events. Current research hotspots include the integration of ESG investment principles, the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations on private equity investment, the influence of financial regulatory system reforms on the industry, the role of local governments in regional innovation systems, empirical research on macroeconomic factors, predictions of structural market changes, changes in investor composition, optimization of exit strategies, and analysis of fundraising and investment scale stability. These research directions not only cover multiple aspects of private equity investment but also reflect how the private equity industry adapts to and captures new investment opportunities in an ever-changing macroeconomic environment. Future research could explore private equity investment performance in emerging markets, industry characteristics under macroeconomic fluctuations, and how to enhance risk resistance through innovative investment strategies. These directions will become the focus of future research, providing more forward-looking guidance for industry development.
