Private Equity Update - First Half 2013


PE firms completed 738 deals totaling $140 billion in the first half of 2013; this is the slowest start to a year since 2009

Strong public markets spurred an increase in IPO activity for PE-backed portfolio companies

Deal flow in IT increased 26% from 1Q to 2Q; all other industries saw declines of at least 10%

PE firms completed 108 exits in 2Q; an improvement from the previous quarter but still the second lowest total since 1Q 2011

PE firms closed 29 funds totaling $48 billion, which is the most capital raised in a quarter since 1Q 2009
