Growth Slows in Evergreen Private Equity Funds

Analysis by RA Stanger has shown a slowdown in growth for evergreen PE and VC funds typified by offerings from industry giants Ares and KKR.

Evergreen funds are also known as open-ended or perpetual funds. They allow periodic subscriptions and redemptions, typically monthly or quarterly.

Traditional PE/VC funds are closed-ended, have a defined 10-15 year life and return capital at the end.
