What is the size of the NZ Private Capital market?
2018 was another year of record activity, with $1.7b of combined investments and divestments across private capital transactions.
Total investment activity in 2018 was $1,094 million an increase of $218 million from 2017, but still just below 2016’s bumper year. This is driven by higher average deal value in 2018 ($18 million) compared to 2017 ($13 million). Private equity investment excluding venture capital reached $823.9m, compared with the $658.7m in 2017 and $1.1bn in 2016. The record level of total venture and early stage investment of $269.7m was notable for one larger investment round by domestic and international venture firms in Rocket Lab.
