DACH Fundraising Report 2018
The 2018 edition of the DACH Fundraising Report is now available to download for Unquote subscribers.
Private equity fundraising in the DACH region continued to build on strong momentum in 2017, with 25 funds holding a final close during the year securing a total of €11.37bn. This is a slight dip on 2016's €12.05bn, but does represent the second strongest year on record.
The largest fund to close was Partners Group Direct Equity 2016, which closed on €3bn in July, followed by Rocket Internet Capital Partners, which hit its $1bn hard-cap in January, and the AsiaGermany Industrial Promotion Capital Fund 1, which also raised $1bn holding a final close in February.
2018 got off to a relatively slow start in Q1, with five funds holding a final close raising €1.21bn. Encouragingly for the German private equity market, the remaining three quarters of the year look set to be much more active in the fundraising space. Since the end of Q1, and by the time of writing, four funds had held final closes, securing €1.61bn – more than doubling the total amount raised for the year. In addition to this, Unquote Data currently tracks 33 funds either currently raising in the market or about to come to market before the end of the year, targeting a cumulative €14.05bn.
In this latest edition of our DACH Fundraising Report, Unquote delves into proprietary statistics on the local fundraising market, and collects insights from leading local practitioners and limited partners.
