According to data from Private Equity International, LPs are keen to continue investing in<br />
developed markets in Western Europe (22 percent) and North America (27 percent) which<br />
are still the most popular choice for private equity investment. There is also appetite for<br />
emerging markets, such as Central and Eastern Europe and Middle East/Africa, which are<br />
likely to continue gaining popularity amongst investors in years to come. With uncertainty<br />
in global markets and sovereign debt crises plaguing developed nations, the risk associated<br />
with emerging markets is becoming less of an issue, particularly given the higher expected<br />
returns on offer. Latin America has seen a slight decline in interest, with nine percent of<br />
LPs expressing an appetite for the region, compared to the 10 percent who have currently<br />
allocated capital there. There are fears amongst some LPs of overheating economies which<br />
are leading to more cautious LP decision making, where the risk of instability is in some cases<br />
outweighing any additional returns which would be gained from such regions.<br />
