Private Placement Industry Insights as of November 30, 2023

Thursday, December 14th, 2023 and is filed under Industry Reporting

We recently released our November Private Placement Insights report. See the highlights from the report below, or if you are an AI Insight by iCapital subscriber, log in now to see the entire report.

Fourteen new private placements were added to investment product training in November, fewer than last month but more than the trough in July. We continue to see weaker activity in the real estate segment, which has historically been a large component of the platform. 1031 exchange activity remains stagnant and even the smaller private real estate deals have slowed. Despite growth in energy, hedge funds, and preferred offerings, overall new fund activity on the platform is well below last year. On a year-to-date basis 37% fewer funds have been added and those that have been added are seeking to raise 57% less capital.
While activity has slowed, we have seen continued additions of funds providing access to private equity and hedge fund strategies that were either previously not available to individual investors or available to investors overseas. These feeder or access funds adding education is a positive sign for the private markets industry – investors who make informed decisions stay invested longer. Additionally, we continue to see new sponsors adding education for their funds, including two new sponsors added this month.
As of December 1st, AI Insight by iCapital covers 294 private placements currently raising capital, with an aggregate target raise of $52 billion and an aggregate reported raise of $35 billion or 67% of target.
The average size of funds currently raising capital is $177 million. Funds range in size from $3.8 million for a real estate property improvement fund to a recently increased $13.6 billion AUM for a diversified private equity and debt fund.
Real estate-related funds, including 1031s, Opportunity Zone funds, and non-1031 real estate LLCs, LPs, and private REITs represent 69% of the total number of funds, and 49% of aggregate target. The percentage of target is down significantly as larger private equity and hedge funds have been added along with the slowdown in real estate. Additionally, private equity’s share of the target raise is likely much higher because, despite the closing of the large private equity fund, there are 12 funds that do not report a target or capital raise, as they are seeking instead to raise a percentage of a larger, institutional fund rather than a specific dollar amount.
In terms of coverage by general objective, income has been and remains the largest component at 55% of funds, while growth and growth and income follow at 22% and 19%, respectively.
59% of private placements we cover use the 506(b) exemption, 32% use 506(c) and 9% have not yet filed their Form D with the SEC.
Ten private placements closed to new investors in November and 162 have closed year-to-date. The 129 funds that reported a raise at close were on the market for an average of 318 days and raised 91% of target on average.
Pitchbook recently released its Q2 2023 Global Fund Performance Report, with preliminary private market returns for Q2. Overall private capital posted a quarterly return of 2.1% in Q2, down from 3.3% in Q1 but not returning to negative territory like we saw in 2022. Smaller venture capital deals, opportunistic real estate, and distressed private debt dragged the overall return down, although it should be noted that the index returns are based on cash flow and net asset data, which tends to be less predictable in these higher risk categories. Buyout and real assets strategies lead on the upside.

We recently released our October Private Placement Insights report. See the highlights from the report below, or if you are an AI Insight by iCapital subscriber, log in now to see the entire report.

Seventeen new private placements were added to investment product training in October, continuing an uptrend from the low in July but still well below the 25-30 per month regular pace.

Wednesday, October 11th, 2023 and is filed under Industry Reporting

We recently released our September Private Placement Insights report. See the highlights from the report below, or if you are an AI Insight subscriber, log in now to see the entire report.

Sixteen new private placements were added to investment product training in September, continuing an uptrend from the low in July but still well below the regular pace of 25-30 per month. Most of the slowdown is due to continued weakness in the real estate segment, a historically large component of the platform. 1031 exchange activity remains stagnant and even the smaller private real estate deals have slowed. Despite growth in energy and hedge funds, overall new fund activity on the platform is well below last year.

Private Placement Industry Insights as of August 31, 2023

Tuesday, September 19th, 2023 and is filed under Industry Reporting

We recently released our August Private Placement Insights report. See the highlights from the report below, or if you are an AI Insight subscriber, log in now to see the entire report.

Fifteen new private placements added investment product training in August, a slight pickup from the 12 added in July but still well below the 25-30 per month regular pace. Most of the slowdown is due to continued weakness in the real estate segment, a historically large component of the platform. 1031 exchange activity remains stagnant and even the smaller private real estate deals have slowed. Transaction volume in the real estate markets was down 54% year-over-year in Q2 and while there is some indication that leasing velocity ticked up in July and August, buyers and sellers are still not on the same page. Until the real estate markets see a marked improvement in transaction volume, we would expect to see fewer funds formed and added to the platform. Despite growth in energy and hedge funds, overall new fund activity on the platform is well below last year. On a year-to-date basis 37% fewer funds have been added and those that have been added are seeking to raise 61% less capital.
As of September 1st, AI Insight by iCapital covers 293 private placements currently raising capital, with an aggregate target raise of $50 billion and an aggregate reported raise of $29 billion or 58% of target. The aggregate target is $20 billion below last month, due to the closing of a large private equity fund.
The average size of funds currently raising capital is $170 million. Funds range in size from $2.6 million for a specified 1031 exchange to a recently increased $13 billion AUM for a diversified private equity and debt fund.
Real estate-related funds, including 1031s, Opportunity Zone funds, and non-1031 real estate LLCs, LPs, and private REITs represent 72% of the total number of funds, and 54% of aggregate target. The percentage of target is down significantly as larger private equity and hedge funds have been added along with the slowdown in 1031 exchange activity. Additionally, private equity’s share of the target raise is likely much higher because, despite the closing of the large private equity fund, there are 12 funds that do not report a target or capital raise, as they are seeking instead to raise a percentage of a larger, institutional fund rather than a specific dollar amount.
In terms of coverage by general objective, income has been and remains the largest component at 58% of funds, while growth and growth and income follow at 22% and 18%, respectively.
63% of private placements we cover use the 506(b) exemption, 28% use 506(c) and 9% have not yet filed their Form D with the SEC.
Twenty private placements closed to new investors in August and 113 have closed year-to-date. The 94 funds that reported a raise at close were on the market for an average of 297 days and raised 98% of target on average.

For illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Private Placement Industry Insights as of July 31, 2023

Wednesday, August 16th, 2023 and is filed under Industry Reporting

We recently released our July Private Placement Insights report. See the highlights from the report below, or if you are an AI Insight subscriber, log in now to see the entire report.

Twelve new private placements were added to investment product training in July, the slowest month on record and less than half of the funds added last month. Most of the slowdown is due to weakness in the real estate segment, 1031 exchange activity remains stagnant and even the smaller private real estate deals focusing on opportunistic real estate have slowed. Despite growth in energy and hedge funds, overall new fund activity on the platform is well below last year. On a year-to-date basis, 33% fewer funds have been added and those that have been added are seeking to raise 55% less capital.
As of August 1st, AI Insight by iCapital covers 298 private placements currently raising capital, with an aggregate target raise of $66.1 billion and an aggregate reported raise of $45.0 billion or 68% of target.
Real estate-related funds, including 1031s, Opportunity Zone funds, and non-1031 real estate LLCs, LPs, and private REITs represent 71% of the total number of funds, and 38% of aggregate target. The percentage of target is down significantly as larger private equity and hedge funds have been added along with the slowdown in 1031 exchange activity. Additionally, private equity’s share of the target raise is likely much higher because there are 11 private equity funds that do not report a target or capital raise, as they are seeking instead to raise a percentage of a larger, institutional fund rather than a specific dollar amount.
In terms of coverage by general objective, income has been and remains the largest component at 58% of funds, while growth and growth and income follow at 22% and 18%, respectively.
The average size of funds currently raising capital is $222.6 million. Funds range in size from $2.6 million for a specified 1031 exchange fund to a recently increased $16.0 billion AUM for a diversified private equity fund.
64% of private placements we cover use the 506(b) exemption, 26% use 506(c) and 9% have not yet filed their Form D with the SEC.
Nine private placements closed to new investors in July and 93 have closed year-to-date. The 73 funds that reported a raise at close were on the market for an average of 289 days and raised 87% of target on average.

For illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Private Placement Industry Insights as of June 30, 2023

Wednesday, July 19th, 2023 and is filed under Industry Reporting

We recently released our June Private Placement Insights report. See the highlights from the report below, or if you are an AI Insight subscriber, log in now to see the entire report.

Twenty-seven new private placements were added to investment product education in June, continuing an uptrend from the slowest months early in the year. While 1031 exchange activity remains muted, smaller value-added and opportunistic real estate funds have been on the rise, as well as private equity, energy, and unique preferred offerings. Despite a recent pickup in activity, on a year-to-date basis, 27% fewer funds have been added and those that have been added are seeking to raise 54% less capital.
As of July 1st, AI Insight by iCapital covers 295 private placements currently raising capital, with an aggregate target raise of $65.5 billion and an aggregate reported raise of $44.0 billion or 67% of target.
Real estate-related funds, including 1031s, Opportunity Zone funds, and non-1031 real estate LLCs, LPs, and private REITs represent 71% of the total number of funds, and 40% of aggregate target. The percentage of target is down significantly as larger private equity and hedge funds have been added along with the slowdown in 1031 exchange activity. Additionally, private equity’s share of the target raise is likely much higher because there are 14 private equity funds that do not report a target or capital raise, as they are seeking instead to raise a percentage of a larger, institutional fund rather than a specific dollar amount.
In terms of coverage by general objective, income has been and remains the largest component at 57% of funds, while growth and growth and income follow at 23% and 19%, respectively.
The average size of funds currently raising capital is $221.9 million. Funds range in size from $2.6 million for a specified 1031 exchange fund to a recently increased $16.0 billion AUM for a diversified private equity fund.
67% of private placements we cover use the 506(b) exemption, 23% use 506(c) and 10% have not yet filed their Form D with the SEC.
Fourteen private placements closed to new investors in June and 82 have closed year-to-date. The 73 funds that reported a raise at close were on the market for an average of 285 days and raised 87% of target on average.

For illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Twenty-two new private placements were added to investment product education in May, continuing an uptrend from the slowest months early in the year.

On a year-to-date basis, 28% fewer funds have been added and those that have been added are seeking to raise 45% less capital.
Much of this slowdown continues to be driven by the real estate categories, with all of the real estate segments slower than last year including 1031 exchanges, opportunity zones, and the non-tax-focused offerings.
As of June 1st, AI Insight by iCapital covers 282 private placements currently raising capital, with an aggregate target raise of $61.2 billion and an aggregate reported raise of $40.7 billion or 67% of target.

The percentage of target is down significantly as larger private equity and hedge funds have been added along with the slowdown in real estate. Additionally, private equity’s share of the target raise is likely much higher because there are 13 private equity funds that do not report a target or capital raise, as they are seeking instead to raise a percentage of a larger, institutional fund rather than a specific dollar amount.
In terms of coverage by general objective, income has been and remains the largest component at 57% of funds, while growth and growth & income follow at 23% and 18%, respectively.
The average size of funds currently raising capital is $217.8 million, up from $108.0 million last year although down from recent months. Funds range in size from $2.6 million for a specified 1031 exchange fund to a recently increased $15.5 billion target for a diversified private equity fund.

Private Placement Industry Insights as of April 30, 2023

Tuesday, May 16th, 2023 and is filed under Industry Reporting

We recently released our April Private Placement Insights report. See the highlights from the report below, or if you are an AI Insight subscriber, log in now to see the entire report.

Eighteen new private placements were added to investment product education in April, five more than March and led by niche strategies including preferred funds and energy. On a year-to-date basis, 25% fewer funds have been added and those that have been added are seeking to raise 31% less capital. While still well below last year, activity has ramped up in the last two months compared to the slowest months early in the year.
Much of this slowdown continues to be driven by the real estate categories, specifically 1031 exchanges and non-tax-focused offerings. The only real estate category above last year’s levels is Opportunity Zones, and those funds are targeting less capital.
As of May 1st, AI Insight by iCapital covers 269 private placements currently raising capital, with an aggregate target raise of $61 billion and an aggregate reported raise of $40.5 billion or 67% of target.
Real estate-related funds, including 1031s, Opportunity Zone funds, and non-1031 real estate LLCs, LPs, and private REITs represent 71% of the total number of funds, and 38% of aggregate target. The percentage of target is down significantly recently as larger private equity and hedge funds have been added along with the slowdown in real estate. Additionally, private equity’s share of the target raise is likely much higher because there are 11 private equity funds that do not report a target or capital raise, as they are seeking instead to raise a percentage of a larger, institutional fund rather than a specific dollar amount.
In terms of coverage by general objective, income has been and remains the largest component at 57% of funds, while growth and growth & income follow at 24% and 19%, respectively.
The average size of funds currently raising capital is $229.8 million, up from $108.0 million last year and continuing a trend towards larger offerings. Funds range in size from $2.6 million for a specified 1031 exchange fund to a recently increased $15.5 billion target for a diversified private equity fund.
65% of private placements we cover use the 506(b) exemption, 24% use 506(c) and 11% have not yet filed their Form D with the SEC.
Eleven private placements closed to new investors in April and 59 have closed year-to-date. The 54 funds that reported a raise were on the market for an average of 286 days and raised 76% of target on average.

For illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Private Placement Industry Insights as of March 31, 2023

Thursday, April 13th, 2023 and is filed under Industry Reporting

We recently released our March Private Placement Insights report. See the highlights from the report below, or if you are an AI Insight subscriber, log in now to see the entire report.

Thirteen new private placements were added to investment product education in March, slower than February and well below 2022 monthly averages. On a year-to-date basis, 27% fewer funds have been added and those that have been added are seeking to raise 46% less capital.
Much of this slowdown continues to be driven by the real estate categories, specifically 1031 exchanges and non-tax focused offerings. The Opportunity Zone segment was off to a strong start but that has also stalled. Preferred offerings have declined this year as well, while we have seen a few more energy funds, one hedge fund, and seven new private equity and debt funds.
As of April 1st, AI Insight by iCapital covers 263 private placements currently raising capital, with an aggregate target raise of $44.7 billion and an aggregate reported raise of $22.0 billion or 54% of target.
Real estate-related funds, including 1031s, Opportunity Zone funds, and non-1031 real estate LLCs, LPs, and private REITs represent 74% of the total number of funds, and 52% of aggregate target. The percentage of target is down recently as larger private equity and hedge funds have been added along with the slowdown in real estate. Additionally, private equity’s share of the target raise is likely much higher because there are 12 private equity funds that do not report a target or capital raise, as they are seeking instead to raise a percentage of a larger, institutional fund rather than a specific dollar amount.
In terms of coverage by general objective, income has been and remains the largest component at 57% of funds, while growth and growth & income follow at 23% and 19%, respectively.
The average size of funds currently raising capital is $170.5 million, up from $108.0 million last year and continuing a trend towards larger offerings. Funds range in size from $2.6 million for a specified 1031 exchange fund to the $11.9 billion target for a diversified private equity fund.
69% of private placements we cover use the 506(b) exemption, 20% use 506(c) and 11% have not yet filed their Form D with the SEC.
Eleven private placements closed to new investors in March and 48 have closed year-to-date. The 44 funds that reported a raise were on the market for an average of 349 days and raised 65% of target on average.

For illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

We recently released our February Private Placement Insights report. See the highlights from the report below, or if you are an AI Insight subscriber, log in now to see the entire report.

18 new private placements added investment product education in February, higher than January but still well below 2022 monthly averages. On a year-to-date basis, 13% fewer funds have added education and those that have added are seeking to raise 45% less capital.
Much of this slowdown is driven by the real estate categories, specifically 1031 exchanges and non-tax focused offerings. The only real estate category experiencing growth is the Opportunity Zone segment. All other categories are either on par with or well above last year’s levels.
As of March 1st, AI Insight by iCapital covers 261 private placements currently raising capital, with an aggregate target raise of $42.9 billion and an aggregate reported raise of $22.0 billion or 51% of target.
Real estate-related funds, including 1031s, Opportunity Zone funds, and non-1031 real estate LLCs, LPs, and private REITs represent 74% of the total number of funds, and 54% of aggregate target. The percentage of target is down recently as larger private equity and hedge funds have been added. Additionally, private equity’s share of the target raise is likely much higher because there are 12 private equity funds that do not report a target or capital raise, as they are seeking instead to raise a percentage of a larger, institutional fund rather than a specific dollar amount.
In terms of coverage by general objective, income has been and remains the largest component at 57% of funds, while growth and growth & income follow at 23% and 20%, respectively.
The average size of funds currently raising capital is $165.1 million, up from $108.0 million last year and continuing a trend towards larger offerings. Funds range in size from $2.6 million for a specified 1031 exchange fund to the $9.7 billion target for a diversified private equity fund.
70% of private placements we cover use the 506(b) exemption, 20% use 506(c) and 10% have not yet filed their Form D with the SEC.
Nineteen private placements closed to new investors in February and 37 have closed year-to-date. The 34 funds that reported a raise were on the market for an average of 295 days and raised 69% of target on average.
