    PRIVATE EQUITY Newsletter QUARTERLY SPECIAL | EDITION 1+2/2021 SIGNED DEALS for 2020 and Q1/2021 within the German-speaking region EUROPEAN PE MARKET Interview with Senior Partner Christof Huth and Principal Dr Thorsten Groth as well as digital expert Dr Ulrich Kleipaß MOST RECENT STUDIES by Roland Berger Private Equity Newsletter Quarterly Special | Edition 1+2/2021 Dear Friends, Christof Huth dear Clients, What a start to the year! The first quarter of 2021 has broken almost every record so far. This edition of the Newsletter provides an overview of the tremendous deal flow in the first quarter of 2021 in com- parison to last year and examines various developments influencing the PE market. Additionally, it offers an overview of recent Roland Berger studies. Dr Sascha Haghani The 2020 PE year (197 transactions) saw lower deal activity overall than 2019 (253 transactions), driv- en by declines in the first half of 2020 in particular. In the second half of 2020, there was a quick recovery in PE-related deal-making in German-speaking Europe, which continues into 2021 so far. With 90 deals, Q1 of 2021 not only surpassed the already strong Q3 of 2020 but represents the strongest quarter in the long history of the PE Newsletter. Economically, the dominant topic for 2020 was COVID-19 and its impact on deal-making, on portfo- Sven Kleindienst lio companies and on daily life. By now the PE industry has become used to successfully dealing with COVID-19-related restrictions during deal-making and is focused on companies’ development outlook beyond COVID-19.

  • Preqin Special Report: the Private Equity Top 100
    PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE EQUITY TOP 100 FEBRUARY 2017 alternative assets. intelligent data. PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE EQUITY TOP 100 FOREWORD s reported in the recently released 2017 Preqin Global Private Equity & Venture Capital Report, the private equity industry’s total Aassets under management (AUM), grew 4.2% from the end of December 2015 to reach a new record of $2.49tn as of June 2016 (the latest data available) – more than double the size of the industry at the end of 2006. The private equity industry has now experienced eight consecutive years of growth since the Global Financial Crisis, when the industry contracted for the only time in the period 2000- 2016. The trend towards greater concentration of capital among fewer funds continued in 2016: 12% fewer funds closed than in 2015, resulting in the average fund size increasing to $471mn, an all-time high. LPs appear to be investing more capital with a smaller number of proven and well-known GPs, with the largest funds accounting for a greater proportion of overall fundraising. The 10 largest private equity funds closed in 2014 accounted for 19% of overall fundraising for that year; in 2016, the fi gure is 26%. Similarly, the proportion of capital accounted for by the 20 largest funds has increased from 30% to 38% over the same period, while the largest 100 funds secured 64% of capital raised in 2014 and 67% in 2016. With Preqin’s end-of-year surveys indicating that investors remain committed to the asset class, and with many looking to increase allocations over the longer term – a result of record distributions in recent years – the asset class is poised for future growth.
