A little more than one-third of private-equity investors without exposure to emerging-markets funds plan to invest in such funds within the next two years, according to a new survey conducted by Coller Capital and the Emerging Markets Private Equity Association.
Nearly half, or 49%, of emerging-markets private-equity investors said they expected to commit additional capital to emerging markets within two years. Some 37% of limited partners with emerging-markets investments said they expected that their 2009 commitments would be about the same as last year, with 11% significantly higher and 14% slightly higher than in 2008.
