TechFlow News, March 27: According to CNBC, several industry insiders say that the ongoing turmoil in Iran—spreading across global markets—has introduced new uncertainties that could dampen resurgent investor enthusiasm for Asian private equity. Andrew Thompson, KPMG’s Asia-Pacific Head of Asset Management and Private Equity, stated: “What we’re seeing now closely resembles the tariff situation at the beginning of last year—people pause, slow down, and wait to avoid any sudden shocks.” Against this backdrop of heightened uncertainty, Middle Eastern investment funds—which serve as a primary source of capital for the global private equity industry—may also temporarily scale back their outbound investments, at least refraining from large-scale overseas investments in the near term. Thompson added: “Now is not the time to conduct fundraising roadshows. They need to resolve more pressing issues first.” A report released by Bain & Company this week notes that private equity firms focused on Asian markets raised just $58 billion in new capital last year—the lowest level in nearly a decade—marking the fourth consecutive year of declining fundraising.
