PD sees high levels of Q3 fundraising
Although fundraising in Q3 is traditionally quiet, this past quarter has seen significantly higher fundraising than over the same period in previous years. Aggregate capital raised totalled $40.5bn in Q3 2021, compared to $14.3bn in the same quarter in 2020 and $28bn in 2019. As economies are returning to normality the need for debt is increasing, and there is no sign that public yields will substantially change as most economists believe that recent inflationary numbers are transitory in nature.
