London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2021 -- SPACs - Special Purpose Acquisition Companies - have attracted a lot of interest in the last year in the private equity world. Over the past 15 months, 10% of the SPACs raised have been backed by private equity firms. In many ways this represents a great match of two interests. SPACs can be a quick way to cash out on investments, an easier option for buying into a private business and another route to liquidity for investors and enterprises that aren't keen to go down the IPO route. However, there are some in the private equity sphere who are uneasy about SPACs, in particular because they could potentially be direct competition to private equity firms, with SPACs impacting on deal flow and valuations. However, as the UK looks to shift regulations to make listing SPACs easier one thing is certain - there is going to be no getting away from them in the months to come.
