PEI's Data Dive: What the PEI 300 reveals about fundraising’s comeback
Q: What explains KKR's staying power and the top-of-the-market dynamics this year?
KKR's dominance is driven by a broad strategy expansion across regions, a large flagship fund push, and consistent deal and fundraising momentum, which keeps it at the top of the ranking even as other firms shift.
PEI's Data Dive: What the PEI 300 reveals about fundraising’s comeback
Q: Adam, could you quickly explain what the PEI 300 ranking is and what it measures?
The PEI 300 is a proprietary ranking of the 300 top private equity firms by fundraising over a rolling five-year period, built from firm outreach and supplemented with secondary information, designed to reflect the health of private equity fundraising.
What LPs are looking for in defence-related PE strategies
Q: What are the main exit concerns for defense-focused investments?
Exits depend on stable government buyers and regulatory consistency; if relationships or rules change, assets tied to wartime demand may lose value or become hard to exit.
What LPs are looking for in defence-related PE strategies
Q: What kinds of assets are investors actually targeting in defense?
Investors are more interested in dual-use technologies and assets with civilian applications that still benefit from military demand, rather than pure weapons manufacturers.
What LPs are looking for in defence-related PE strategies
Q: Why has defense investing moved higher up the agenda for LPs and GPs?
LPs and GPs see defense-related assets as increasingly relevant due to rising state budgets and geopolitical tensions, but they want credible management, clear exit paths, and ESG alignment before committing capital.
