Brookfield Asset Management and Warburg Pincus led global private equity and venture capital deal value to $43.31 billion in July, marking the second consecutive month of volume expansion after a protracted pricing standoff that began in early 2023.
Brookfield's infrastructure platform anchored the month's largest ticket, consistent with the firm's $850 billion in assets under management weighted toward real assets and transition capital. Warburg Pincus contributed growth equity volume in a month that saw check sizes climb and deal count compress — a reversion to the 2019-2021 pattern where fewer, larger transactions cleared at negotiated multiples. July's figure represents a 37% climb from June's $31.6 billion and the highest monthly close since January, when $47.2 billion printed before the spring lull.
The volume matters because it confirms that exit pricing has reset enough for sponsors to deploy committed capital without marking down existing portfolios. Brookfield in particular has been patient — the firm sat on $115 billion in dry powder through Q1 and has been selective, waiting for distressed infrastructure and energy transition assets to reprice. Warburg's participation signals that growth equity is clearing again in software and healthcare, two sectors where 2022-2023 markdowns exceeded 40% at some shops. The July print also suggests that family offices and sovereign wealth funds, the primary buyers in these size ranges, are no longer waiting for further multiple compression.
Allocators should watch for August deal announcements in the $2-5 billion range, particularly in data infrastructure and industrial automation, where Brookfield has been circling assets. September will clarify whether this is sustained deployment or a mid-year clearing event before year-end portfolio management. Warburg's pipeline in late-stage venture — firms valued between $500 million and $2 billion — will signal whether crossover funds are returning or if strategic acquirers remain the only exit.
The $43.3 billion figure becomes the new baseline for Q3, and any month below $35 billion now reads as underperformance rather than market norm.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.
