UK - Coller Capital unveils its Summer Barometer 2006 findings

The Coller Capital Global Private Equity Barometer Summer 2006 was released on Monday revealing that whilst LPs remain committed to private equity they are becoming increasinly discerning. Over the last three Coller Barometers, the proportion of investors that have refused to 're-up' in their GPs follow-on funds has grown steadily from 45% this time last year to almost two thirds now. In fact, it is reported that one quarter of all LPs questioned plan to increase their direct investments into private companies, bypassing GPs entirely.
