Two cities, four days, dozens of conversations about where private capital is headed next.
We opened the week at IPEM Global in Paris, where the team hosted a booth and talked GPs and LPs through the two topics dominating every conversation this year: AI and MCP, and what they mean for how diligence actually gets done.
Nicolas Moura, Sr Analyst on our EMEA Private Market team, also took the stage at the Private Equity Summit to unpack the European PE macro picture using PitchBook data. The headline: fewer funds, sharper focus. European PE fundraising has slowed to 76 new funds raising €50B YTD in 2026, yet mid-market buyout funds between €1B and €5B still pulled in 52% of that capital.
Day one wrapped at Caves du Louvre, where we hosted clients for our annual w**e event in the heart of Paris. Meeting clients where they are in the region is always the priority.
By Thursday we were back in London for the UK Private Capital Summit, with our institutional research team taking two moderating slots and the commercial team building relationships and sharing what's new on the platform.
Two cities, one clear signal: private capital keeps moving, and we're moving with it. Download our Q2 2026 European PE report here: http://spr.ly/6181BGTlgT
