During 2021, M&A saw record-breaking levels across the world. Within the EMEA region, private equity activity has been incredibly high too.
New deals and funds have been continuing to increase, particularly for the largest players within private equity.
These bigger and well-established private equity firms have been doing so well, due to their ability to fundraise remotely during the global pandemic, and also their ease in conducting due diligence, which has been a struggle for smaller and newer private equity firms.
More than half of all capital raised during the first nine months of 2021 was attained by larger funds.
Hellman & Friedman achieved the largest fundraise of the year during 2021, and this fundraise is also amongst the top five private equity funds ever raised in history.
Within the EMEA region, private equity activity has been incredibly high due to abundant liquidity, interest rates, and digitalisation.
The largest 25 private equity firms currently hold more than half a trillion dollars in unallocated capital. This goes to show that dry powder is increasingly accumulating within the largest funds.
This amount of unallocated capital will make sure that we see a lot more activity, including investments and acquisitions, during the rest of 2022.

Listed European firms will definitely draw more and more attention during the rest of this year too.
Overall, as larger firms spend their unallocated capital during 2022, the private equity industry will see lots of interesting deals taking place across the EMEA region.
