Today's Top Stories  
Navigating the ups, downs of NAV loans
As fundraising slows and exits stagnate, PE fund managers are increasingly employing creative portfolio management strategies.

Net asset value loans, which are credit facilities secured against a fund, have become one of the financing tools filling the demand for liquidity. The NAV loan market is forecast to grow sixfold to $600 billion by 2030.

Our latest analyst note examines the growth of the NAV lending market and the pluses and minuses of such loans.

Landscape looking frosty for real assets fundraising
Capital raising for real assets funds has been far from fertile in 2023, which is shaping up to be the weakest year for fresh capital in over a decade.

Data through Q3 shows just $24.4 billion committed this year to closed-end real assets funds—down nearly 80% from the same period in 2022. By contrast, natural resources fundraising, which includes oil and gas, surpassed 2022's annual total.

The latest edition of our Global Real Assets Report also looks into the dip in the strategy's recent returns—and the likelihood they could recover by the end of the year.

Investors turn to Japan for Asia-Pacific exposure

Limited partners chasing market stability are looking to invest in Japan's PE and VC ecosystems.

The country's relatively stable government policies against a backdrop of US and China tensions, paired with an aging population with business owners in need of succession planning, have fostered an environment primed for foreign investor participation in private market deals.

Market rally sets PE, VC IPOs up for double-digit gains in 2023

  • Our VC-backed IPO index is up 15.4% through early December. The PE-backed IPO index has grown 14.7% in 2023.

  • Companies that went public through SPACs, however, declined 12.8% during the period.

Market Map: Struggling retail fintech gets a hand from alternative lending
(Tanja Ivanova/Getty Images)
Retail fintech has been losing ground to B2B-centric enterprise fintech. The former, despite a slowdown with consumers and investors, is being buoyed by alternative lending startups that offer loans to credit-underserved communities.

Our market map shows where investors are placing their bets on startups taking on traditional banks.

Public GPs raise more money for private credit than they can deploy
The top alternative asset managers are awash in capital committed to private credit strategies. Recently, private credit's share of overall fundraising surged at the biggest public PE firms, but lending volumes are tracking down 33% this year during a slump in dealmaking.

Our Q3 2023 US Public PE and GP Deal Roundup checks the vital signs that many Wall Street analysts miss on the seven largest US-listed alt managers: Blackstone, KKR, Apollo Global Management, Blue Owl, The Carlyle Group, Ares Management and TPG. 

For these bellwether firms, shoring up dry powder for private credit is just one of many strategies—including blockbuster deals with insurers—to sustain long-term growth.
