As the industry grows in size and influence, the question will get louder. The industry needs to be able to give a definitive answer.

Funds in the region have retained a significant proportion of unrealised value due to a tricky exit environment, exacerbated by a predilection for minority investments.

The Japanese tech conglomerate has preemptively spent $1.7bn from new vehicles established to hold assets that are expected to be treated as the initial investments of Vision Fund 2.

A white paper from Capital Dynamics shows multi-manager co-investment funds outperform primary vehicles and demonstrate more attractive risk characteristics.

The Q4 year-on-year drop from $7m to $1m is due to the run-off of legacy assets and several large fundraisings having yet to come to market, said co-CEO Glenn Youngkin.

A combination of indebtedness and tanking oil and gas prices led to Southland's bankruptcy, not its valuation process.

The credit specialist’s AUM hit $331bn at the end of Q4, half of which is in permanent capital vehicles.

The firm has been focusing on more institutional-quality opportunities in the region, according to its co-chief executive.

Four additional entrants have been welcomed into the HEC Private Equity Value Creation Hall of Fame, launched in 2017 by associate professor Oliver Gottschalg.

Fund performance data show the former is likelier to deliver better returns in the US and Asia, while Europe’s homogenous nature gives pan-regional strategies the edge.
