introduction

Private markets have provided farmers, entrepreneurs, corporate tycoons and property developers with access to capital for centuries. But the current scale, growth and complexity of private capital is truly unprecedented – and is radically altering the investment opportunities and challenges facing institutional investors.

Private markets have grown to over $12 trillion. Private markets now account for over 40% of all capital invested in the US – more than double their share in 2009. They represent 35% of M&A activity – 10% more than a decade ago.
