As the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth in history gets underway, private banks face an unprecedented challenge: winning over and retaining the loyalty of a new generation of investors who no longer see wealth as an inheritance, but as a lever for action. This colossal transfer of capital is not only upsetting the balance, it's redefining the way wealth is thought of and used. This generation of committed, connected investors in search of meaning is overturning the codes of private banking, and in this movement, private equity is establishing itself as the common language between capital and impact.

Faced with the growing challenge of demographic ageing and the erosion of returns on traditional assets, US pension funds are ahead of the game.

The hospital sector is undergoing a period of profound transformation, fueled by the rapid integration of advanced technologies. In this dynamic, private equity plays a key role, supporting innovative companies that are shaping the hospitals of tomorrow. Managers are investing in solutions that not only modernize infrastructure but also fundamentally change the way care is delivered, while improving operational efficiency and ensuring attractive financial returns.

As medicine undergoes an unprecedented transformation, visionary companies are pushing the boundaries of healthcare research and development. New therapies now target previously incurable diseases, while clinical trial processes are evolving to accelerate the arrival of innovations in hospitals.

50 to 60% of operations are currently performed on an outpatient basis, i.e. with a hospital stay of less than 12 hours.

Despite impressive technological advances, one question remains: will tomorrow's hospital be truly "intelligent", or will it remain trapped within the same structural and human constraints? Digital innovations promise to make care faster, more precise and more accessible, but they are not enough on their own. True transformation requires a complete reinvention of hospital models, capable of combining efficiency, humanity and ethics. Hospitals must now navigate a complex ecosystem, where economic, regulatory and organizational constraints are intertwined with a growing demand for quality care. Against this backdrop of deep crisis in the healthcare system, technological modernization must go hand in hand with adaptation to societal expectations: personalized, equitable and truly patient-centered care. The future of hospital establishments therefore depends on their ability to harmoniously integrate innovation, ethical responsibilities and human needs. At the heart of this revolution, healthcare data is emerging as a strategic lever. Intelligent analysis of medical records, connected devices and telehealth platforms enables earlier detection of risks, optimized care paths and truly personalized treatments. For doctors and hospitals, this information becomes a powerful decision-making tool, capable of anticipating future needs and reducing inefficiencies. Properly harnessed, data transforms the hospital: it becomes more agile, more human and, above all, fairer for all patients.

In the world of American private equity, dominated by media giants and high-profile transactions, New Mountain Capital cultivates a rare discretion. And yet, behind this reserved demeanor lies one of the most robust and unique models in the mid-market. Founded in 1999 by Steve Klinsky, a historic figure in US private equity, the firm was built on a simple but demanding idea: to favor defensive growth over speculative performance, and rigorous sector selection over opportunism.

In an exclusive interview with Altaroc, Steve Klinsky, founder and CEO of New Mountain Capital, highlights his firm's resilience and adaptability in the face of changing market conditions.

Since its creation in 1999, New Mountain Capital has built its reputation on the stability and consistent performance of its buyout funds, consistently ranking in the top quartile* of global private equity managers. True to its prudent and rigorous investment philosophy, the firm maintains strict requirements when selecting companies, with a meticulous approval process by its investment committee.

For almost 25 years, New Mountain Capital has built its success around an in-depth thematic approach, aimed at identifying and investing in defensive growth sectors.

For him, the future of private equity is inextricably linked to the software sector, which will continue to dominate transactions in the years to come.

Since its creation, Thoma Bravo has established itself as a key player in private equity, particularly in the software sector. Behind its buyouts is a clear strategy: identify market leaders, optimize their performance and maximize their value through far-reaching operational transformations.

Louis Flamand emphasizes that buyout and Growth Equity in Private Equity offer a good combination of risk, return and liquidity, and that a disciplined and consistent investment strategy in these areas is essential, without giving in to the trends of the moment. He stresses the importance of choosing managers with a proven track record and committing to the long term, concentrating on sectors with secular growth and avoiding trendy sectors without a solid performance track record.

Louis Flamand explains why Altaroc focuses mainly on the Mid Market, with investments in mid-sized companies, and avoids the Small Cap due to higher risks, while remaining open to Large Cap opportunities if they offer significant growth and various exit options, as illustrated by their Vintage 2023 investing in large funds targeting the upper Middle Market and lower Large Cap.

This asset class accounts for over 30% of their portfolios, compared with less than 1% for French private clients. It was this trend that prompted the creation ofAltaroc, an institutional-quality investment offering aimed at private clients with very little exposure to Private Equity.

Frédéric Stolar points out that Private Equity offers historical outperformance and lower volatility than listed markets, while also providing asset diversification thanks to its de-correlation with the latter, particularly during periods of economic recession. He emphasizes the asset class's historic ability to deliver impressive performance over the long term, with average returns of 12% per annum over the long term, and a resilience that is accentuated during crises, offering appreciable stability in the face of inflation and market vagaries.
