A deep dive into each asset class
Private equity
Private equity appears to be on a cautious path to recovery in 2026, with signs of an improving environment for large-ticket deal-making
Venture capital
The exit environment for venture capital has improved in 2025 but GPs remain under pressure to increase pace of distributions
Private credit
Strategic evolution for private credit in 2025 sets the stage for an anticipated fundraising recovery in 2026
Real estate
Real estate fundraising appears more positive in 2025, led by strong interest in debt-focused and opportunistic funds
Infrastructure
Infrastructure fundraising grew in 2025, while softer deal activity and a drop in capital calls raise questions about the deal-making environment going into 2026
