PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: PRIVATE EQUITY IN EMERGING MARKETS

FOREWORD 2017 was a landmark year for the global private equity industry. Record fundraising, the closure of the largest fund ever raised, record-high entry prices for assets and dry powder levels exceeding $1tn for the first time all dominated the headlines. But what of emerging markets?

Macroeconomic factors and geopolitical uncertainty remain key issues within emerging markets. Despite this, 2017 witnessed 388 funds reaching a final close, securing an aggregate $115bn – this is the second highest amount of capital raised in the last decade, falling just short of the record seen in 2014 when 513 funds reached a final close raising $120bn. The wider industry trend of capital consolidation is starkly apparent within emerging markets: 250 fewer funds held a final close in 2017 than in 2016, resulting in the average size of funds increasing from $240mn in 2016 to $388mn in 2017.

Along with this surge in fundraising, AUM of emerging markets-focused funds has increased by 33% between the end of 2016 and September 2017. This is a significant rise and can, in part, be attributed to Preqin’s additional research efforts to strengthen our coverage of the Chinese private equity market, with the opening of our Guangzhou office in October 2017. Another factor driving this surge in AUM is the increase in the number of state-backed China-based funds, which are playing a big role for the private equity market in the region.

Buyout deal activity remained robust in 2017: the number of deals was slightly lower compared to the previous year, but in line with ongoing high entry prices for assets, aggregate deal value was up 17% compared to 2016. The rise of venture capital in Emerging Asia continues, with the region home to 90% of all venture capital transactions in emerging markets in 2017 – aggregate deal value was 26% higher compared to 2016, reaching a record $79bn.

Emerging markets-focused funds have demonstrated the ability to deliver attractive returns. Median net IRRs have remained above 8% for 2006-2015 vintage funds, and top-quartile net IRRs have, with the exception of 2012 and 2013 vintages, remained above 20% for 2011-2015 vintages. Furthermore, in the first three quarters of 2017, aggregate capital distributed back to investors exceeded aggregate capital calls; should this continue, the ramifications for emerging markets will be significant.

This report provides a detailed look at the private equity environment in emerging markets, including fundraising, institutional investors, deals and performance, supplementing the information on Preqin’s online platform.

FUNDRAISING

Since 2014, when emerging markets-focused private equity fundraising

reached a record-high $120bn in capital raised, annual fundraising has exceeded $100bn in both 2016 ($105bn) and 2017 ($115bn), as seen in Fig. 1, with 2015 falling just short ($90bn).

The fundraising landscape has also witnessed an increase in the number of state-backed funds, most notably in China. In 2017, 13 China-based funds with state involvement reached a final close, raising an aggregate $42bn.

Capital consolidation has been seen across the whole private equity industry with emerging markets being no exception. While the level of capital raised has remained high over the past four years, the number of funds closed has decreased significantly, illustrating the success of fewer but much larger funds – nearly three in four funds closed in 2017 met or exceeded their target. The success fund managers are having in achieving fundraising targets stems from investor liquidity, largely due to the higher amount of capital distributed compared to capital

called up by emerging markets-focused funds (see page 8).

In terms of the global private equity fundraising landscape, emerging markets-focused funds dominated in the years immediately following the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) as investors looked for more diversification within their private equity portfolios. Since 2014, however, emerging markets have accounted for a steadily declining proportion of the number of funds and capital secured globally as investors have shifted their focus onto the

lower-risk developed markets which have also seen strong returns (Fig. 2).

REGIONS TARGETED As seen in Fig. 3, Emerging Asia has long dominated in terms of private equity capital targeting emerging markets: since 2008, eight of every 10 dollars raised for investment in emerging markets has been focused on Emerging Asia. The proportion of total emerging markets capital earmarked for Emerging Asia increased from 74% in 2009-2013 to 86% in 2014-2018 to date – 91% of all capital secured for investment in emerging markets in 2018 so far will target Emerging Asia.

Much of the growth seen in the annual level of aggregate capital raised by emerging markets-focused private equity funds has therefore been driven by funds targeting Emerging Asia, with these vehicles securing over $100bn in 2014 ($103bn) and 2017 ($102bn).

Away from Asia, funds targeting investment in Latin America have raised an aggregate $47bn since 2008 – the second highest total among the emerging regions. However, more recently the region’s share of annual emerging markets-focused fundraising has been decreasing, falling from 11% in 2011 to 2-3% since 2015.

FIRMS TARGETING EMERGING MARKETS Historically, the vast majority of emerging markets-focused private equity vehicles have been raised by managers based in these markets, with international managers

responsible for roughly one-fifth of emerging markets-focused funds closed since 2008 (Fig. 5). However, developed markets-based managers have accounted for 37% of funds closed so far in 2018, the highest proportion on record. Despite this increase, only one of the 10 largest funds closed in 2018 so far is managed by a firm headquartered outside the emerging markets: California-based B Capital Fund, reached a final close on $360mn in February 2018, exceeding its $250mn target size to focus on early growth-stage venture capital investments in B2B technology companies in Asia and North America.

OUTLOOKThere are 970 emerging markets-focused private equity funds on the road as at

April 2018, seeking an aggregate $338bn in capital commitments. The universe of emerging markets-focused funds currently in market shares a similar make-up with that of the longer-term trend: Emerging Asia represents the vast majority of funds in market, with 668 funds targeting $288bn for investment in the region (Fig. 6). Although venture capital dominates the number (462) of funds on the road, growth strategies represent the greatest share (49%) of capital targeted by emerging markets-focused funds on the road (Fig. 7). By comparison, buyout vehicles account for the largest proportion (39%) of aggregate capital targeted in developed markets.

Preqin’s online platform contains detailed information on the

investment preferences and past investments of 1,134 emerging markets-based investors that are actively investing in private equity, which collectively allocate $262bn to the asset class.

INVESTOR UNIVERSESixteen percent of all private equity investors are based in emerging markets. Greater China is home to the largest number (357) of participants within emerging markets, representing 31% of institutions actively investing in the asset class (Fig. 13).

Foundations and endowment plans as well as public and private sector pension funds are more prevalent in developed markets, while corporate investors, banks and investment companies comprise the largest proportion of emerging markets-based investors in private equity (Fig. 14).

INVESTMENT PREFERENCESA larger proportion of institutions in developed markets have a preference for buyout funds compared to their emerging

markets-based counterparts, whereas the reverse is true for investments in venture capital and growth vehicles (Fig. 15). A significantly greater proportion of investors in developed markets utilize funds of funds, perhaps a reflection of the competition for top-tier funds within developed markets and funds of funds being the only route to access these vehicles. Furthermore, fund of funds managers typically offer co-investment and secondary opportunities that can provide higher returns and a more bespoke portfolio.

FUTURE ACTIVITYPreqin interviewed over 250 private equity investors at the end of 2017 to gauge their views on the market and their planned future activity in the asset class. Although the North American and European markets are the main focus for investors, 30% of respondents intend to increase their allocation to emerging markets over 2018, with a further 64% planning to maintain their allocation (Fig. 16).

Within emerging markets, Emerging Asia remains at the forefront of investors’ minds. Over half (51%) of respondents specifically favour China, a 12-percentage-point increase from December 2016 and a suggestion that investors expect to see further growth in the Chinese economy over 2018 (Fig. 17). Sixteen percent of investors believe Central & Eastern Europe presents the best investment opportunities, which may be a reflection of LPs searching for value outside developed markets. By contrast, India was viewed less favourably among investors than in December 2015. The low proportions for Russia and the Middle East may be attributed to ongoing geopolitical risk.
