## Resource

Private equity’s golden era is fading as firms face a brutal reckoning: holding assets longer has piled up a $4 trillion backlog, forcing a reckoning on valuation realism.

Apollo’s pivot to “HALO” assets—physical, tech-resistant businesses—shows a smarter, AI-enhanced strategy. The industry’s moving toward a sharper, more honest performance landscape where easy wins are history. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
