Market at a glance
The private equity markets continued to cruise in 2015 as deal-making and fundraising both kept charging ahead toward the end of the first quarter. Over the past two weeks, deals done by U.S.-based buyout and mezzanine firms have added nearly $11 billion to the year-to-date total. As it currently sits, the 2015 sum is about $13 billion ahead of where it was at this point in time last year.
