The global Private Equity market is experiencing exceptional momentum. In 2025, it exceeds $3 trillion in assets under management, confirming its central role in financing the real economy.

Record fundraising

Private Equity funds raised more than $600 billion in the first half of the year, nearly two-thirds of which through capital-purchase operations (LBO).

An evolution of strategies

Faced with increased competition and abundant liquidity, managers are now focusing on:

Targeted sectors (health, technology, energy transition);

Geographical areas with high potential;

A sustainable approach (ESG) increasingly valued by investors.

An increasingly accessible asset class

Once reserved for institutional investors, Private Equity is gradually opening up to individual investors, thanks to pooled funds and managed management solutions.

Private Equity remains a long-term performance lever, at the heart of modern wealth diversification strategies.
