We are delighted to present the 2026 edition of our FundsTrack report, offering a data‑driven view of the latest developments influencing the private funds market.

2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for private funds, as new governments in the US, UK, and EU introduce policy shifts that will affect fund structuring, taxation, and regulatory priorities. These changes are unfolding alongside growing investor demand for greater transparency, liquidity, and ESG integration.

Our report provides an in‑depth analysis of current trends and developments across the private funds industry, offering valuable insights for both GPs and LPs.

This year's report highlights:

  • Data in detail: analysis of LPAC structures, recall rights, and MFN provisions
  • Market insights: analysis of carried interest reforms, growth in open‑ended and semi‑liquid structures and the democratization of private assets
  • Regulatory snapshots: recent and upcoming regulations across the EU, UK, and the US
