Marked by a resurgence in credit vehicles and the rise of continuation funds, Q2 showed a significant rebound in European fundraising. But did Europe’s fundraising climate continue this trend in Q3 despite rising interest rates? Have the Benelux countries shown signs of recovery from a less fruitful Q2? And what does the rise of secondary funds mean for both investors and the market? Time to find out in the third installment of our quarterly European Private Equity Fundraising report.

The report focuses on the evolution of fundraising within the European PE space and highlights the main funds that had their last close in the most recent quarter (with a specific focus on possible trends in the Benelux market). The report is compiled using Pitchbook data and is supplemented with market commentary from the August team.
