With $3.4 trillion raised in the last five years, the attraction of private equity (PE) industry has only grown in size and scope. In this report we explore some of the key trends on the horizon.
We first take a step back and look at the state of play for the private equity industry as it stands, and how it grew to the size it is today.
We shine a light on blockbuster fundraisings, with Softbank seeking to replicate the success of its $100 billion tech-focused Vision Fund, by targeting a $108 billion sequel. Elsewhere, KKR show us that there's strong investor appetite for social impact investments, easily sailing past fundraising targets for its Global Impact Fund.
We examine the rise of Udaan, a Bangalore-based startup on the receiving end of $585 million investment from the likes of Tencent, Altimeter Capital, GGV Capital and Citi Ventures. Meanwhile we look at Mekong Capital, a Vietnam-focused private-equity firm, and their plans for a fifth fund that's capped at $250 million. Finally we examine the runaway success of Oyo, the $10 billion valued lodging startup from India, that is on-track to raise $1.5 billion in funding.
