The number of private debt funds in North America has yet to reach pandemic or pre-pandemic levels, but the trend of mega funds continues. In 2022 year to date, 55 private debt funds closed in North America. Even if that number doubles in the next five months, the number of funds will still be at their lowest since 2014. However, while fewer in number, fund size has grown significantly. Aggregate capital raised has reached $80.5bn so far in 2022. Over the whole of 2021, $134.6bn was raised, meaning that 2022 could be a record year for fundraising if this pace continues.
