Global Private Capital Barometer 43rd Edition, Winter 2025-26

In this edition of the Global Private Capital Barometer, we explore investor sentiment towards private markets, and examine their views on allocations and risk in the current macroeconomic climate.

We uncover Limited Partners (LPs) perspectives on secondaries, private credit, and evergreen vehicles and delve further into their long‑term convictions and near-term expectations of today’s dynamic investment landscape.

Fieldwork for this edition of the Barometer took place from 15 September to 10 November 2025.
