Summary
A co-founder of TwinFocus, a Boston-based multi-family office, says private equity bets are increasingly selective amid what it describes as a 'DPI crisis,' according to PEI Private Equity. DPI, or distributions to paid-in capital, measures how much cash limited partners have returned relative to the capital they have contributed, and the reference points to continued pressure on liquidity for private equity investors.
The firm's approach, as reported by PEI, is to balance established general partners who are prepared to navigate a distressed environment against managers that are not 'swimming in crowded pools.' The article, written by Brett Johnson and published 16 April 2026, is tagged to buyout, co-investments, and family office coverage, indicating that the discussion centers on buyout strategies and co-investment alongside GPs.
