“DACH’s H1 dealflow remains steady but fundraising lull looms

DACH’s impressive buyout activity in the first half of 2019 was tempered by a dearth of fund launches, with several others struggling to reach their targets […]

Nina Dohr-Pawlowitz, CEO of DC Placement Advisors, questions whether some GPs will be successful in their fundraising efforts: “The fact that several funds that launched before 2018 are still in the market supports the argument that many funds from the DACH region find it difficult to come to their desired final closing.”

Dohr-Pawlowitz thinks LPs have recently tended to invest in funds-of-funds to decrease exposure to any single fund manager.
