We recently analyzed private equity firms portfolio company data to determine which firms are holding the most companies.
The top 25 private equity firms by count, or 1.1% of all firms, currently hold around 11% of all portfolio company platform investments.
The median number of active platform investments for firms is 7. Half of the PE firms hold more than 7 current platform investments and half hold fewer than 7. This has not changed since the last time we reported on this in April 2023.
