Fundraising Report 2021: mapping out the post-Covid landscape

Fundraising figures for 2020 highlight how bifurcation in the market has significantly increased in recent months. While the aggregate amount of capital raised continued to climb sharply, the number of vehicles that closed was down compared with the 2018-2019 period. Figures for 2021 to date are still healthy, but it is likely that the phenomenon of fewer funds attracting more capital will persist.

The bulk of the fundraising market continues to be driven by managers predominantly based in the UK or the US. The latter in particular have hauled in record amounts of capital in the first half of 2021 on the back of several mega-fund closes. Meanwhile, Nordic managers have punched well above their weight too, capitalising on LP appetite for the region.
