Investor Relations & PCA People Moves, 2024

2024/2025 IR & PCA People Moves Report

Pearse Partners is proud to present the 2024/2025 edition of our annual people moves report for Investor Relations and Private Capital Advisory professionals. This year we have tracked more people moves than ever before enabling us to provide this comprehensive guide for a clear analysis of the key trends shaping the industry over the past year. Our goal is to equip you with the critical insights needed to confidently navigate the dynamic and evolving market landscape.

What is the recruitment outlook for 2025?

We predict that 2025 should see further consolidation in the PCA market, with the Elite Boutiques & Bulge Brackets looking to acquire and further build out their teams. Secondaries advisory will likely continue to be a focal point of hiring, as demand for alternatives to traditional exits continue to grow globally.

Investor Relations should see an increase in hiring across the board, particularly as consolidation of the placement space will push funds to raise directly as competition for advisory services increases. This provides an opportune time to hire mid/senior level candidates, as there is a large pool of strong candidates that haven’t considered a move for the last couple of years but will be now.
