Regional focus of capital

Funds targeting multiple geographies attracted the most capital, thanks to mega- Europe funds raised by Lexington Partners, Ardian $19.2bn and Francisco Partners. This is a reversal from North America the previous year in which North America was $87.3bn the most popular geography for funds. Asia-Pacific

Another interesting development in the first $29.1bn half of the year is that Asia-focused funds gathered more capital than Europe.

One reason for this could be the mega-funds raised by pan-Asian giants MBK Partners, Multi-Regional Baring Private Equity Asia and CVC Capital $103.3bn Partners. Rest of the world $2.1bn
