About the research

The last few years has seen a sea change in private markets. From their unprecedented bull run post-financial crisis, many investors are now facing generational changes stemming from rising interest rates, soaring inflation and tighter exit windows.

This environment makes every decision matter more. So, in the context of private equity, what are our platform funds and investor community doing?

With this in mind, we are pleased to present the Moonfare Pulse, our proprietary snapshot of the deal activity from the managers on our platform, as well as trends amid our community.

Key findings:

• Moonfare investors prioritise buyouts. While growth equity was the main focus in 2021, buyouts remain the strategy of choice for most individual investors.

• Our community is getting younger. The number of Moonfare investors younger than 35 has doubled in the last few years, a trend that is expected to continue.

• Tech investments dominate deal making. Once reserved mainly for venture and growth, technology investments now also make up the majority of deals among the Moonfare platform’s buyout managers.
