Abstract

Increased volatility in financial markets has led to volatile returns on private equity investments, especially against a backdrop of uncertainty about the timing of investment exits and rising financing difficulties. In addition, market volatility complicates investment decisions and risk assessment. To avoid these problems, this paper proposes that private equity investors can diversify risks through industry and geographic diversification, flexibly adjust portfolios and exit strategies, and rely on real-time monitoring of market sentiment to optimize investment decisions. These strategies help investors improve their returns and risk management ability in an unstable market environment.
