The Next Frontier Of Fundraising

Along with the macroeconomic issues of the post-COVID era has come a noticeable shift in the private equity fundraising environment. The PE fundraising pool, which used to predominately consist of institutional investors, has now diversified to also include numerous high-net-worth individuals and family offices and, on the horizon, retail investors. Preqin, a provider of data and insights in private markets, has noted that, based on its investor surveys, a large proportion of institutional investors are planning on slowing the pace of their capital commitments to private equity, which may lead to a further increase in diversification and potentially a shift in investor pool dynamics.¹
