Australian ­Private Equity & Venture Capital Association CEO Yasser El-Ansary expects local private equity firms to pursue acquisitions in 2015, after offloading many businesses in 2014. He notes that Australian private equity groups’ cash holdings now exceed $A6bn. Offshore private equity groups are also expected to target the Australian market, with falling valuations in the resources sector likely to attract the interest of firms such as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts
