    The Fundraising Reports, from Private Equity International Research and Analytics, analyse the current state of the private equity fundraising market and detail the significant trends that affected the market in each quarter starting from 2013 until now.

  • The Q1 2017 Fundraising Report

    A strong start to the year saw the trend of capital consolidation in the private equity industry continue into the first quarter of 2017. The three largest funds raised $29.4 billion in a sign of how the big private equity firms are strengthening their grip on fundraising.

    At the end of Q1 2017, there were 2,241 funds in market targeting an aggregate of $602 billion. With some of the largest funds in market planning to close over the next couple of months, it is likely that fundraising in 2017 will surpass capital raised in 2016.
