A decade of private equity investments

A decade of private equity investments

Pitchbook has reported on a decade of #PrivateEquityInvestments in a four-part series focusing on #investments, #fundraising, #exits and #FundReturns. The highlights are illuminating of the period from 2001 through 2010, with the unsurprising peak in 2007 and drop thereafter.


Highlights from the investments portion of the report include the following:

The decade saw 17,361 #PrivateEquityDeals totaling $1.73 trillion of #InvestedCapital.
Lower middle-market companies accounted for 81% of the decade’s deal flow.

The median private equity investment multiple peaked at 11.5x in 2008.

The average time between investments dropped from six months in 2002 to 2½ months in 2007.

Add-on deals accounted for 46% of #PEbuyouts by the end of the decade.

Texas saw more #PEdeals and invested capital than any other state.

Business Products and Services was the top industry for PE activity.

Pitchbook is an independent research firm providing data, news and analysis to the #PrivateEquity industry, with a variety of online and other products.
