Sizes in US dollars; ≈ converted from another currency. A launch’s figure is its stated target. Final closes are added up on their own: a first or interim close is often the same money again. Rows are dated by their first report, Monday to Sunday, New York time.

About these rows

Every fund close we have covered since March 2026, with firm, fund, size, asset class, region, date and source. Our last source check found a field wrong in about a third of sampled rows, mostly fund names, and we fix them as they are found.
A strict subset: only reports that state a target. More as our checks allow.
Private equity, private credit and real estate acquisitions where a headline names the buyer and what was bought; 28 and 27 of 30 rows were right in our source checks.
Hires, promotions and appointments, only where a headline states the person, the exact title and the firm; 19 of 20 rows were right in our last source check.
The same rows as the data tables, fixed in one place when one is wrong. Not a census of every fund or deal.
