每年一度的PEI300榜單新鮮出爐。該榜單通過計算過去5年募集到的資金規模，排列出全球最大的300家PE機構。全球300家PE機構基金募資數據在一定程度上有助於描繪出PE基金管理人手中到底有多少干火藥。
PEI300對於PE採取廣義的界定，包括傳統的風險基金、成長基金、併購基金及不良資產股權基金。 過去5年中，這300家PE機構共募集到 1.988萬億美元的資金，創歷史新高，這相當於意大利的GDP。而PE機構的頭部化明顯，排名前十的PE機構就募集規模就達4611億美元。
黑石再次拔得頭籌，過去5年募集資金規模高達960億美元，比第二名凱雷高出近350億美元。上榜機構的最低募資門檻為14億美元，相比2015的9.08億美元，增長了54%。進入top10的PE機構，最低募資額為320億美元，比2019年的240億美元增長了33%，頭部化趨勢進一步加強。進入top100的PE機構，最低募資額為54億美元，比2019年的46億美元增長了17%。 在PEI300中，總部在美國的機構共計201家，佔三分之二強；總部在歐洲50家，亞洲47家，拉丁美洲1家。其中top10中，有8家PE機構總部在美國，2家PE機構在歐洲。總部在中國地區（包括大陸、香港和台灣）的PE機構共計32家，比2019年增加3家。
總部在中國地區的TOP100 PE機構
美國201家 VS 中國32家
從數字對比表面看來中國PE機構的實力和美國還有很大的差距。在中國top10當中，有九家機構總部在香港。香港在PE資產管理行業的地位和獨特性還無法被取代。 不過，PEI300統計有其一定缺陷。能夠入PEI法眼的都是那些市場化、管理美元基金起家的中國PE機構。對於中國本土人民幣PE機構，特別是國有規模較大的PE機構並不在統計之中。這無形中放大了中國與美國之間的差距。 在過去的5年里，這些機構籌集了近2萬億美元。從PEI300募資金額來看，在進入並經歷covid-19大流行造成的經濟和社會創傷的過程中，PE擁有充足的資本，PE機構佔據比上一次金融危機更有利的狀況。在各國政府和企業努力應對疫情影響之際，PE在重建經濟方面有機會發揮重要作用。PE對危機不僅是解決方案的一部分，將被認為是一個重要的解決方案的一部分。
根據美國投資委員會的數據，美國PE機構持有約3.5萬家美國企業的投資，這些企業僱傭了880萬人。 值得一提的是，全球最大的資產管理公司BlackRock的PE排名大幅上升，從2019年的148名提升到2020年的第17名。 數據表明其正努力從二級市場投資加大對一級市場布局。這家從黑石獨立出來的資產管理機構，正在效仿黑石，加速成為PE及另類投資領域的一支重要力量。僅在2020年第一季度，BlackRock就募集了超過70億美元資金。在2019年第一季度和2020年第一季度之間，其管理的另類資產佔總資產的比例從2.5%上升到3.1%。
BlackRock董事長兼首席執行官拉里•芬克(Larry Fink)在公司第一季度業績電話會議上表示:“在流動性不足的另類投資領域，我們實際上比以往任何時候都更深入、更長、更廣泛地與投資者對話。”在全球流動性泛濫和低利率甚至負利率環境下，機構投資者加大包括PE在內的另類投資資產配置成為不可扭轉的趨勢。另類投資不再另類。 PEI300上榜機構的手中擁有創紀錄的1.988萬億美元。新冠危機給上榜機構帶來投資機會的同時，這些上榜機構之間的競爭也越發激烈。優質資產荒將進一步加劇。
難怪連巴菲特都抱怨：PE的競爭使得優質資產價格高得離譜。手握超過1000億美元的巴菲特也難以找到合適的投資標的。
