BeBeez Trading Floor roundup with eToro support about the performances of private capital firms listed on global exchanges.
On 24 July, Thursday, the European Central Bank (ECB) left interest rate unchanged while the Fed’s Governor Jerome Powell keeps resisting to Donald Trump’s Administration pressures for a cut of money cost. In both cases, tariffs are a key issue, albeit for opposite reasons. In Europe they jeopardise the growth, in USA can create inflationary dynamics.
Such a scenario hit the stocks of private debt firms as they provide floating rate facilities while the market capitalization of private equity funds remained substantially stable.
However, London-listed HarbourVest Global private Equity (+8.2%), part of Dublin’s HarbourVest Partners, benefited of the buy back that shareholders recently approved.
Investors also rewarded NYSE-listed Carlyle (+5.9%) as Texas Yale Capital Corp increased by 11.5% in the firm during 2Q25. Furthermore, many hedge funds opted for long position on Carlyle which recently sold its stake in Italian special sportswear producer Dainese (see here a previous post by BeBeez).
London-listed 3i Infrastructure is still going through a rally since April 2025 Liberation Day, when Trump announced his international trade programme. Investors consider infrastructures a safe haven, as they are duty-free and guarantee constant cash flows.
In 1H25, Paris-listed Eurazeo (-14.5%) said it raised 2.1 billion euros, without generating any progress since 1H24. Such data are not consistent with the firm’s 44% annual turnover growth expectations for 2023-2026 (press release).
