Welcome to Private Equity International’s ranking of the top private equity placement agents.
Amid the challenging environment, private equity’s placement agents continued to raise billions in new capital.
Our proprietary ranking of the most active placement agents for the asset class includes 38 participating firms, who raised a total of $41 billion in new capital for private equity and venture capital funds in the 12 months to end-May 2024.
METHODOLOGY
Private Equity International ranked the largest placement agents based on the aggregate value of capital raised from investors for funds from 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2024. It only counts new capital closed (either in an interim or final close) for which the placement agents has attribution and for which a fee has been paid. The ranking only includes capital raised for funds, not private market transactions.
- “New capital” is defined as an LP investing into a fund series for the first time.
- Re-ups do not count towards a placement agent’s total new capital.
- LP capital does not need to have been called or deployed to count.
