It's not difficult to find anecdotal evidence that the fundraising market has frozen: industry participants are quick to point to funds in market that have cut targets or allowed LPs to reduce commitments. Even some major placement agents are winding down their activities, while others are forced to find other ways of "keeping the lights on" as capital remains scarce.
Fundraising levels dropped to their lowest level in four years in the first part of 2009, with buyout funds raising 72% less than the same period last year, according to Dow Jones statistics.
Yet some firms continue to target and close on significant sums - why and how are they set apart from the competition? How can GPs successfully gain commitments from LPs that are strapped for cash?

We've recently polled nearly 100 leading GPs and found the majority plan to raise capital in the next 12 months, making these issues crucial to their success.
Our expert panel will discuss the most effective ways to raise fresh capital in today's market place, addressing questions including:
- How do fundraising conditions differ from region to region?
- Which investment strategies are gaining greater traction with LPs?
- How long should GPs expect to be in the market?
- Is it possible to raise a first-time fund in today's tough fundraising climate?
- Has the rationale changed for using placement agents?
- Are there alternatives to raising a traditional fund? Under what circumstances does that make sense?
- Are mega-funds saleable?
- What concessions must GPs be willing to make to get significant re-ups from existing investors in prior funds?
In addition to the approximately 60-minute moderated discussion among speakers there will be a comprehensive Q&A session for all attendees. Questions may be submitted anonymously for real-time answers from our speakers.
