With private equity fund managers raising more than т‚Ќ120bn in the first half of 2021 alone, it seems appetite for the asset class has never been more abundant.

 

That being said, a massive amount of that capital was raised by a small number of heavy-hitters, indicating the oft-remarked bifurcation in the market was not corrected by the pandemic's disruption.

Unquote editor Greg Gille welcomes Alessia Argentieri onto the pod to talk about European PE fundraising on a macro level. Argentieri also spoke with Marc Wursdorfer, head of UBS's private funds group, to get his take on not just buyout strategies, but secondaries and venture fundraising as well.
