PE Fundraising at a Glance (Q1 2023)

PE Fundraising at a Glance looks at the latest quarterly trends in global and U.S.-based private equity fundraising. The pace of private equity fundraising remains sluggish. In Q1, $146.7bn was raised globally, up less than 1% from $146.5bn raised in Q4 2022. One hundred forty-four funds reached a final closing globally in Q1, down 32.4% from 213 funds closed in Q4 2022.

Private Equity Digest (April 2023)

The first quarter of 2023 generally extended the slower global and U.S. private equity activity seen at the end of 2022. While the number of deals continued to fall between January and March, total deal values increased but were still consistent with the lower levels seen toward the end of 2022. In view of the current market conditions, general and limited partners may desire to explore fund-level liquidity structures as an alternative to traditional exits. In this issue, we discuss some of these potential liquidity strategies.

PE Fundraising at a Glance (Q4 2022)

Private Equity Digest (January 2023)

While private equity activity bounced from month to month in 2022, there was a general downward trend over the course of the year, culminating in a steep decline in the number of deals in December. The total value of deals both globally and in the U.S. peaked in April and May, respectively. While it is unclear if December is a bellwether for 2023, tight credit markets and proactive regulatory regimes seem poised to dampen enthusiasm in the immediate term. In this issue, we discuss litigation risk in private equity exits that may become more prevalent in challenging markets.
