PPB in the News: Seeking Healthcare Private Equity Funds
August 6, 2025
Midmarket drawdown opportunities as sector fundraising outpaces broader PE trends
In an interview with With Intelligence, PPB Capital Partners’ Head of Distribution, Evan Deussing, outlines how the firm is setting its sights on healthcare-focused private equity funds as part of a broader strategy to diversify its portfolio. The firm is prioritizing midmarket opportunities and favors drawdown structures for healthcare, citing their ability to manage long-term capital without the redemption pressures common in evergreen funds.
While PPB’s core focus remains the U.S., the firm is open to select global strategies — particularly in the European middle market — that align with its investment approach. Interest in healthcare comes amid continued fundraising momentum for the sector, even as private equity overall has slowed.
Beyond healthcare, PPB is exploring secondaries, as well as niche sectors like sports, media, and technology, while continuing to pair boutique managers with well-established firms to balance innovation and stability.
