💰 The 25 Largest Private Equity Firms 💰
Surprising parallels between the top 3 firms.
Even without the recent final closing of its long-hold PE fund (BCEP II) at $8B,
the Blackstone Group would have emerged as the clear winner of the ranking —
Having raised $95.9B over the past 5 years!
What’s interesting:
Blackstone is not the only PE manager straying from the traditional 10-year fund
model.
❗ All top 3 firms (Blackstone, Carlyle Group, and KKR & Co.) have set up
vehicles that are planning to invest with a longer time horizon.
And looking at the funds raised, the strategy seems to be paying off —
Even more so in the current volatile and unpredictable COVID-19 environment.
With the economic downturn resulting in newly distressed companies and potential
takeover targets AND so much dry powder, I expect quite some movement in the PE
world. 🤔
→ Will there be an increase in PE activity?
→ And will we see a shift to investments in long-term survivors rather than
short-term winners?
What do you think? 👇 💬
