Buyout

The PE portfolio's growth in FY2025 appears to be its largest jump since FY2021.

Private equity funds took an average of 17 months to hold their final close in the first three quarters of this year, marking a slight shortening on last year.

The sovereign wealth fund is seeing 'a higher percentage of control buyouts at scale' in China and India, according to Asia PE head Ankur Meattle.

The sovereign fund is bolstering its exposure to private equity and other private assets following several years of record cash inflows from oil revenues.

The fund has increased its secondaries budget to capture opportunities arising from market uncertainty, private equity head Yasuyuki Tomita tells PEI.

Trustar Capital Partners V will close just shy of its $1.3bn target, PEI understands.

The European buyout firm's Tokyo office will be its ninth globally and second in Asia after Shanghai.

The European mid-market firm, which recently launched an office in Milan, expects to hold the final close for Fremman 2 in Q4 2025.
