DACH Fundraising Report 2017

Private equity fundraising in the DACH region, as in the rest of Europe, is seeing continued strength, raising the most capital last year since the global financial crisis. A total of €10.6bn was raised by 18 funds managed in the DACH region that held a final close in 2016.

This is more than double 2015's tally, and the most raised over a 12-month period on record. H1 2017 has seen a continuation of this buoyancy, with €5.1bn secured by 12 funds holding a final close in the six months to July. Drivers behind strong private equity fundraising globally also apply to the DACH region. As Europe's largest economy, LPs are eager to gain exposure to Germany, which has not been easy to access historically, and they are keen to deploy capital in funds that have access to the region.

"LPs are generally short DACH exposure, in that their portfolios are structurally underweight relative to the country's GDP," say Mounir Guen, CEO of MVision Private Equity Advisors. "Statistically, the volume of potential opportunities in Germany is very large, but as an investor looking to capture the market, access can be difficult as there's a limited domestic head-count of GPs."
