Nordic Survey 2012

Though the Nordic region is a way off the highs seen in the first half of last year, activity is up on the second half of 2011. Additionally, strong exits this year imply belief in the region's private equity market is high.

A majority of respondents expect dealflow to increase over the next 12 months. This buoyant mood stems in part from the confidence in the region's ability to dodge the storm brewing on the rest of the continent: 69% of respondents believe the current macroeconomic conditions are the key differentiating element between the Nordic private equity market and other European countries.

While the AIFM Directive was on everybody's agenda last year, today's concern is more perennial: fundraising. Regulatory constraints, which last year were investors' main concern (63%), dropped this year with just 23% of respondents singling it out as the biggest issue currently facing private equity funds.
