Q3 proves we are in a more challenging fundraising environment, but deals and exits are showing stability.
A fall of 24% in the number of funds closed in Q3 was matched by a 22% fall in capital raised
Half of funds need to spend more than two years on the road to reach fundraising close
Trade sales pushed up exit numbers slightly, from 550 to 570, but total value of exits was almost flat
Deal value in Q3, at $139bn, is 48% higher on the same quarter last year
