Hellman & Friedman released expert commentary on private equity industry trends, involving Jefferies Financial Group and JMI Equity. The commentary noted that buyout firms are increasingly holding assets for longer periods, causing the median life of a private equity fund to rise to 15 years. This trend is upending the traditional 10-year fund model.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The shift toward indefinite asset holding periods fundamentally changes the economics of private equity funds. The case of KRONOS, which Hellman & Friedman acquired in 2007, illustrates this, as the company remains owned with no imminent plans for a sale or initial public offering.
