European private equity dealmaking may have slumped in the first half of 2016, but jitters around Britain’s membership of the European Union didn’t hamper fundraising.
There was no slowdown in investors committing money to European or UK-based private equity firms in the first half of 2016, with 31 European private equity funds raising over $25.38 billion for buyout strategies - the strongest first-half total since 2008, according to Dow Jones LP Source.
