FAMILY OFFICE & PRIVATE EQUITY DEALMAKERS BREAKFAST SERIES
LIMITED PARTNERS & THE FUNDRAISING ENVIRONMENT
Fundraising for Alternative Investments and Private Equity Funds in particular is in a unique market environment. LPs committing larger sums to fewer funds, and smaller and newer funds still find are finding it more difficult to raise capital. The percentage of funds raised in the $250 million to $1 billion range has fallen to about 26% of overall fundraising, down from 35% in 2010. In many cases, the relatively few funds that do get capitalized are industry‐specific and have carved out niches for themselves in sectors or markets less exposed to record valuations. In addition, LPs are increasingly looking for direct investments and co‐investment opportunities.
