Credit crunch healthy for buyouts(2)

While turmoil in the global credit markets will have and has had serious consequences for lenders during the buyout boom, larger buyouts will resurge in the next year, according to Swiss investment firm Partners Group.

The large buyout market has experienced a healthy correction and there will be a rebound in large public to private transactions as soon as the end of 2008, according to a report by Swiss alternative assets manager Partners Group.

Public companies continue to be reasonably priced with healthy balance sheets, and an unbroken demand for the asset class should increase the shooting power of private equity companies.
