Private equity fundraising rebounds but slow exits test LP patience
Private equity fundraising has made quite a comeback, reaching a record $312B in the first half of 2026. Yet, while capital is flowing in, deal closings are taking longer—now at a median of 274 days—and holding periods are stretching beyond five years. Notably, industrials and infrastructure sectors have shown impressive growth, while secondaries fundraising surpassed $50B, providing welcome liquidity. As someone who guides techpreneurs, medical professionals, and high net worth families through the complexities of wealth management and investment strategy, I see how these trends can impact both portfolio construction and liquidity planning. Strategic patience and a focus on diversification remain key—especially in today’s evolving private markets.
