At long last, the global private equity and venture capital industry seems to be turning a corner. For the first time in two years, the number of private equity deals completed and the total amount of funds invested are expected to increase. In the first six months of 2003, $57 billion in private equity has been invested globally, versus $102 billion for all of 2002, according to a recent survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting.
