Private Equity Growth Continues Despite Uncertainties
KPMG's 'Pulse of Private Equity Q2’26' finds the global private equity market resilient despite geopolitical tensions, inflation and varied interest-rate environments. In H1 2026 roughly $1 trillion was invested across more than 9,200 transactions; deal counts are at their lowest in over five years while invested capital remains high. Europe (EMA) saw a rolling 12‑month investment volume of $782.4 billion, with Germany accounting for $88.6 billion. KPMG highlights an upcoming succession wave among German family-owned businesses (estimated 260–295 larger firms considering external succession over the next decade) and identifies investment opportunities in AI, energy and data infrastructure. The report also notes a selective exit market, rising use of secondary transactions and continuation vehicles, and cites Bain Capital’s takeover of Everllence as a notable H1 transaction.
Peak XV Secures $1.3B to Boost AI Investments in India
Peak XV announced a $1.3 billion raise across new India- and Asia-focused funds, increasing its assets under management to more than $10 billion. The capital will be deployed mainly into India seed and venture funds and an APAC vehicle, with the firm expecting to invest the pool over the next two to three years. Peak XV said it will prioritise investments in AI, fintech, consumer startups and emerging deep tech, and has made more than 80 AI investments to date. The firm split from Sequoia Capital in 2023 and now holds a portfolio of more than 450 companies across fintech, software and consumer internet. Managing director Shailendra Singh emphasised a returns-focused, selective approach and noted the firm is still building its U.S. presence. The raise was announced as New Delhi hosted the AI Impact Summit, where other investors and tech companies, including General Catalyst, OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, were present.
