Weil Private Equity Sponsor Sync

Fourth Quarter 2025 Issue

Sponsor Sync’s Q4 2025 issue continues to break more new ground with our special feature focusing on Human Alpha. Sponsor Sync, much like Weil Private Equity, spans far beyond deal execution, from fundraising, to deployment, exits and extraordinary transactions. This issue’s highlights include our quarterly update on leveraged finance, a discussion of purchase price adjustments gone wrong, the unique risks of AI Agents, traditional, new and hybrid approaches to GP-led secondaries, the “3Rs” of preferred equity, the impact of the SEC’s newly adopted amendments to Reg S-P, rethinking fund economics in European private equity, and more. Our special feature, Human Alpha, spotlights the talented people inside private equity firms and their portfolio companies that make ventures successful in a way that assets alone never could, delving into topics like investment in professional services businesses, accounting firms and European human capital businesses, as well as the latest data on incentive equity vesting terms. The highlights of our special feature are two Q&As, one with Jim Westra, former Managing Partner and General Counsel of Advent International, and the second with Charles Buaron of Amstead Group, neither of which you’ll want to miss. This issue of Sponsor Sync wraps up 2025 to keep you best positioned going into 2026. As always, stay informed and stay ahead.
