Collier Capital has a new report out that it calls a “barometer” of the private equity environment. Among other things, it ranks private equity asset classes in terms of their current attractiveness to investors in private equity:
- European buyouts
- Asian buyouts
- American buyouts
- American venture
- Asian venture
- European venture
Better news for those out on the p/e fund-raising trail is the following:
The Barometer found that more than half of institutional investors in private equity (56%) expect to increase their exposure to alternative assets overall during the next year, with 43% expecting to increase their allocations to private equity and 45% planning to do the same with hedge funds. The good news for 2005 fund-raisers is that more than half (53%) of LPs expect to increase the number of their GP relationships, with this figure rising to 62% among Asian LPs.
