Key findings from the report include:
$107 billion was allocated to private equity, with commitments up 41% year-over-year despite recent valuation pressures.
$52.4 billion flowed into private credit, driven by asset finance and infrastructure-related strategies.
$38.2 billion was committed to real estate, as investors returned to non-core and global strategies.
