fundraising<br />
In 2011, North America-focused funds accounted for 36 percent of the total funds reaching<br />
a final close, raising just over $76 billion. This was followed by Global funds (28 percent),<br />
Asia Pacific (17 percent) and Western Europe-focused funds (12 percent).<br />
So far in 2012, North America-focused funds have continued to dominate the fundraising<br />
market, with 42 funds already reaching a final close, raising a total of $17.8 billion.<br />
Most funds focused on North America have been buyout and venture capital funds, with<br />
a number of growth/expansion capital funds also raising capital this year.<br />
Figures to date in 2012 indicate that global funds are on course to raise more capital<br />
than they have in the past three years. Year to date figures for global funds total $47 billion<br />
from 25 funds, in comparison, the twelve months to December 2011 saw just 60 global<br />
funds reach a final close, raising just over $59 billion.<br />
The European sovereign-debt crisis in Europe has had a clear impact on Europeanfocused<br />
funds raised to date this year. A total of 17 such funds have reached a final close<br />
raising almost $5 billion. If the trend continues, fundraising for the year is expected to<br />
fall well short of the $26 billion raised in 2011.<br />
