Private Equity Is Looking for a Little Help

Things aren't going all that great for private equity firms. They're struggling to sell the companies they own and return cash to investors. But it turns out their counterparts in the world of private credit are offering special loans to tide them over. Direct lending arms at shops from Ares Management to Neuberger Berman Group and even private equity titan KKR have all launched what some are calling 'dequity' funds—to convey the presence of both debt and equity—to the tune of $30 billion industry-wide since 2023. Demand for this type of stopgap financing has soared lately as cash-strapped PE firms face a prolonged deal drought. Higher borrowing costs as well as erratic US trade policies have made it harder for corporate buyers to appraise the value of potential targets or for sponsors to figure out how public stock offerings will go. That's left PE firms saddled with their portfolio companies longer than they'd planned, creating a situation where they don't have enough money to distribute to their limited partners.

Trump to attend energy and innovation summit in Pittsburgh

President Trump will visit Pittsburgh to attend the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit next month. Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick is spearheading the summit at Carnegie Mellon University on July 15. McCormick's office announced that Mr. Trump will attend the summit, which will bring together leaders in energy and artificial intelligence as well as investors, labor and trade leaders and government officials. Mr. Trump just visited Pittsburgh at the end of May to talk about the U.S. Steel-Nippon deal and announce tariffs. "There's no question that the path to American energy dominance runs directly through Pennsylvania, and this Summit will celebrate all our Commonwealth has to offer," McCormick said in a news release. "Harnessing Pennsylvania's unique strengths to attract new data center investment and energy infrastructure development will jumpstart Pennsylvania's economy, create great, new jobs, and bolster our national security." The news comes after the Shapiro administration on Monday announced that Amazon will pump $20 billion into Pennsylvania to create high-tech cloud computing and artificial intelligence innovation campuses. Gov. Josh Shapiro said it's the largest private sector investment in the commonwealth's history. McCormick says that Pennsylvania's natural gas resources, skilled workforce, access to water and research institutions make the state "a logical base" to power America's technological future. "The Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit will align the leading energy companies, the most innovative AI platforms, global investors, and labor and trades behind President Trump's agenda to unleash American energy potential. Together, we can usher in a new age of energy production and power the AI and technological revolution. I am grateful to President Trump for announcing he will join us in Pittsburgh," McCormick said in the news release.

Arlington prepares for global spotlight as 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches

With just one year to go until the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, preparations are well underway in Arlington. AT&T Stadium is set to host nine matches — the most of any venue in North America — and officials expect millions of fans to flock to North Texas during the month-long tournament. "A lot of times people say that it's nine Super Bowls," said Matt Wilson, executive director of the Arlington Sports Commission. "It's even more than that." City leverages experience with major events Arlington, already a seasoned host of major sporting events, is drawing on years of experience to prepare for the international spotlight. "We'll take all the lessons that we've learned over the past 10, 15, 20 years here to make sure that people have the best experience they possibly can," Wilson said. Thousands of people are expected to gather in Arlington's entertainment district, whether or not they have tickets. City leaders say the infrastructure is ready to handle the crowds, pointing to the success of events like the Texas Rangers' World Series parade in 2023. "First and foremost, we want to have a safe and fun environment, and preparations are well underway to make sure that's the focal point," Wilson said. Economic impact expected to be massive The World Cup is projected to generate an estimated $2 billion for the North Texas region and boost tourism across the state. "Folks will be here for the games, but then they will also have time to explore communities and to branch out to see more of Texas and all that we have to offer as a destination," said Erika Boyd, president and CEO of the Texas Travel Alliance. Local businesses gear up for global visitors Local hotels, restaurants, and businesses are already preparing for the influx of international visitors. "And the experiences that we create for visitors in Texas have a lasting economic impact for the state and actually help to offset the household taxes that all Texans pay," Boyd said. A global stage and a lasting legacy As the countdown continues, local leaders are embracing the opportunity to showcase the region on a global stage. The hope is that Arlington's moment in the spotlight will not only impress the world, but leave a legacy that lasts for years to come.
