The private equity industry is spooked \u2014 and it\u2019s not just because of Halloween. <\/strong>Private equity is finding it increasingly difficult to raise fresh capital, leading the CEO of Swedish PE firm EQT, Per Franz\u00e9n, to predict that some 80% of all private equity firms could turn into zombie firms by 2035 in comments to the Financial Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

Forget witches and ghosts, zombie firms are a more formidable spectre haunting the <\/strong>industry<\/strong>, which happens when an investment firm can no longer raise money for new funds and remains operational to manage the companies and investments it already has. Like the undead, these firms are technically alive, but are dead insofar as they no longer seal new acquisitions or raise fresh funds while they run down their existing investments.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just a nightmare on Wall Street, but a global issue<\/strong>, with only a third of the 15k or so PE firms having raised funds in the last seven years, according to Franz\u00e9n. Of these 5k firms with some recent fundraising success, Franz\u00e9n sees less than half of them carrying on this success in the next 5-10 years. But there\u2019s good news for the largest firms with established global footprint, with 50 to 100 such firms expected to rake in 90% of all fresh funds in the next fundraising period.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Hopes for a rebound of the sector at the start of the year <\/strong>began to fall apart<\/a><\/strong>by early April<\/a><\/strong>, when a fresh round of US tariffs sent markets wobbling after a strong start to the year. Transaction value in April fell 24% below the 1Q average, and dealcount dropped 22%, according to <\/a>Bain and Company\u2019s Private Equity Midyear Report 2025<\/a>. Now, more than 18k funds are chasing USD 3.3 tn in capital \u2014 or USD 3 of demand for every USD 1 available \u2014 according to the report.<\/p>\n

MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n

Asian markets are in the green this morning<\/strong>, with the Kospi leading gains (+2.4%) The Nikkei (+2.1%), Hang Seng (+0.5%), and Shanghai Composite (+0.1%) are looking at more moderate gains. <\/p>\n
