  • Preqin Special Report: the Private Debt Top 100
    PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE DEBT TOP 100 ■ The 100 Largest Fund Managers ■ The 100 Largest Institutional Investors AUGUST 2018 PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE DEBT TOP 100 FOREWORD s reported in the 2018 Preqin Global Private Debt Report, the private debt asset class in 2017 was characterized by a trend Atowards greater capital concentration: 17% fewer funds reached a final close than in 2016, while a record $107bn was secured among fund managers. Average fund size increased to $869mn, a leap of $171mn from the previous year. Capital remains concentrated among the top GPs, as the 10 largest funds closed in 2017 secured over a third of total capital raised in the year. Institutional investor appetite for the private debt asset class is strong, with 98% of investors surveyed by Preqin at the end of 2017 planning to increase or maintain their private debt allocations in the long term. The 100 largest private debt LPs have a combined $172bn invested in the asset class, which represents nearly a quarter (22%) of all capital invested in the space. The top LPs are the main drivers behind the growth in prominence of the largest fund managers, as they require GPs to be of sufficient scale to accept and deploy increasingly large commitments. With the objective of providing greater insight into who the most influential players are, Preqin is pleased to provide a comprehensive ranking for the first time of the top 100 GPs and LPs within the private debt asset class, taken from our platform. For the purpose of this report, the GP rankings have been compiled based on the total value of private debt funds raised by each GP in the past 10 years – this includes any capital raised by owned subsidiaries.

  • 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.
