During the market peak in 2007, a total of $480 billion was raised by 578 funds reaching a final close. By 2009, only 351 funds closed globally raising just $226 billion, less than half the amount of capital raised in 2007. Since 2009, global uncertainty continued to contribute towards a muted fundraising environment, with both LPs and GPs proceeding with caution amidst a less than favourable environment. LPs who had previously enjoyed the high returns provided from their fund commitments were forced to lessen their allocation to private equity, with some completely exiting the asset class in an effort to balance out and reduce losses in their investment portfolio. Likewise, GPs who had previously raised funds and invested capital with ease were having difficulty attracting capital from LPs, as well as in exiting from portfolio companies and providing existing LPs with a healthy return on their investments. Concerns about Europe’s sovereign debt crisis, alongside widespread political instability in the Middle East and the repercussions of the US debt-ceiling debate, continued to hamper fundraising efforts in 2011 although the total capital raised increased compared to the total raised in 2010. Recent months have shown promising growth in private equity fundraising, with 103 funds reaching a final close raising just over $76 billion in the first four months of 2012.

In 2011 alone, 105 buyout funds reached a final closed, raising a total of $89 billion. Although this figure is lower than the $126 billion raised in 2009, it shows an improvement from 2010’s $75 billion of capital which was raised by 98 funds. Venture capital funds raised a total of $28 billion in 2011, through 109 funds. Bessemer Venture Partners’ Fund VIII raised $1.6 billion for global venture capital opportunities, making it the largest VC fund in 2011. A clear trend in venture capital funds is the dominance of North America and Asia-Pacific as both originators of venture capital funds as well as targets for venture capital investments. Four of the top ten venture funds in 2011 were focused solely on opportunities in North America, with a further four targeting global opportunities and two focusing solely on Asia Pacific. This illustrates that whilst there is a growing trend towards emerging markets for higher returns, investors and fund managers have not yet reduced their reliance on good returns from established markets. Conversely, fund of funds have witnessed a sharp decline with the number of funds reaching a final close in 2011 totalling just 26, down from 49 in 2009. The capital raised has similarly decreased from just over $21.7 billion in 2009 to $6 billion in the 12 months to December 2011. In the first four months of 2012, buyout and venture capital funds have continued to dominate the fundraising market, with capital raised for such funds accounting for 77 percent of the total capital raised this year, to date. The three largest funds to reach a final close this year were also all buyout funds, managed by Blackstone, BC European Capital and Hony Capital. www.privateequityconnect.com
