DACH Fundraising Report 2020

The 2020 edition of the DACH Fundraising Report, published in association with Aztec Group, is now available to download for Unquote subscribers.
DACH private equity fundraising was in rude health in 2019, with 26 funds securing a combined €13bn across all strategies for the region. This headline figure is the second highest recorded by Unquote and continues the trend of a strong fundraising environment evident since 2016.
Buyout funds raised €7.67bn across 10 managers, and, despite the figures being skewed by Triton V's €5bn raise, managers including Paragon, Borromin (formerly Steadfast Capital) and Ufenau all registered impressive final closes that were 90%, 132% and 147% larger than their respective prior vintage funds. Says Afinum managing partner Gernot Eisinger: "If you have a solid track record, making 2.0-2.5x of your investor's money over the last 10, 15 years, and a stable team with succession [plans] in place, fundraising in DACH should not be a big problem."
