For private equity investors, the arrival of the 119th Congress and the new Trump administration shifts the landscape, creating uncertainty, challenge and opportunity in equal measure and highlighting the need for political due diligence on any deal. President Trump is expected to pursue an aggressive trade policy, including higher tariffs, while also seeking deals to expand exports and increase foreign investment in the United States.

We expect the financial services sector will see the greatest impact, given the President’s support of digital assets and cryptocurrencies. The energy sector should also see a similar impact as a second Trump administration appears poised to repeal many of the Biden administration’s actions on climate change and the environment, with profound implications for sustainable investing and energy transition strategies.
