Emerging Managers Bearing the Brunt of the PE Funding Slowdown

The Big get Bigger

In this competitive PE funding environment, larger well-known funds continue to win investor capital away from emerging managers. The % share of new investor capital going to Sponsors with 3 funds or less dropped by almost half over the last year.

As detailed in The Wall Street Journal article: “So-called emerging managers, or those that have raised three or fewer funds, account for about 17% of the total money collected by the industry since the beginning of last year. Such relatively new firms gathered around 31% of the total capital raised from 2008 through 2021.”

You Need Every Competitive Advantage You Can Get

In this challenging environment, emerging managers need every competitive advantage they can get. Higher interest rates will make multiple expansion unlikely. Value creation at the portfolio company level will be more important than ever.

Larger buyout shops have a deep bench of operating partners that help drive value creation. They are leveraging this expertise to grab a larger share of investor capital.
