Warburg Pincus LLC

Our CEO, Jeffrey Perlman, recently joined Alison Mass, Chairman of Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs, for an episode of Goldman Sachs Exchanges: Great Investors.                                                                                            On navigating today’s market, Jeff notes, “There's so many different subsets of opportunities. Everyone is going to be caught up in the tariffs of the moment and people will always be focused on the problem in front of them. One of the great strengths you have to have is to see above the trees." The discussion covers a range of topics, including the history and evolution of Warburg Pincus—starting with the firm’s first private equity fund in 1971, in the early days of the private equity industry, to present day, where we've returned 50% more than we've invested, $45 billion distributed versus $30 billion invested, over the past 5 years. Jeff also explores the current private equity landscape, addressing the challenges the industry faces in today’s macroeconomic environment, as well as the opportunities that arise from Warburg Pincus’ diversified model and disciplined investment approach. The conversation also highlights Warburg Pincus’ seamless leadership transition, investor-first culture, and strong team alignment, all of which Jeff cites as key differentiators for the firm.

Warburg Pincus CEO Jeffrey Perlman joined Bloomberg TV to discuss investment opportunities across Asia and share his perspectives on the current private equity landscape. Asia is projected to drive two-thirds of global growth over the next decade, and its long-term growth fundamentals remain strong. Jeff highlighted opportunities in India, where we’ve been investing for nearly 30 years with financial services remaining a core focus, and in Japan, where structural reforms are creating new avenues for investment and global expansion. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a long-term outlook amidst market volatility and underscored the value of Warburg Pincus’ approach of diversification by design—across vintage, sector, geography, and number of deals—as a key driver of consistent performance and DPI. #WarburgPincus #JeffreyPerlman #PrivateEquity #AsiaGrowth #LongTermCapital #IndiaInvestment #JapanOpportunities Watch the full video here:

At the Techcombank (TCB) Investment Summit in Hanoi this week, our CEO Jeffrey Perlman reminded the audience to keep a long-term perspective amidst all the dramatic headlines: "In times like this, people need an extra push to see above the trees. That’s what produces the most consistent and persistent returns over time.” In his fireside chat, Jeff spoke to the importance of staying the course, maintaining consistency through cycles, and keeping focused on fundamentals. Jeff also highlighted Vietnam’s pro-growth reforms, deepening global trade ties, maturing capital markets, and exceptional culture of entrepreneurship as key drivers of the country’s flywheel effect—one that reminds him of early days in the economic transformation of China and India. From Techcombank to BW Industrial, MoMo, Xuyen A, Lodgis and others, we remain proud investors and firm believers in Vietnam’s long-term trajectory.   DealStreetAsia covered the conference and his remarks. Worth a read for anyone thinking long-term in Southeast Asia. https://lnkd.in/gyr5nZen #WarburgPincus #JeffreyPerlman #Vietnam #PrivateEquity #Techcombank #ASEAN
