The value of global private assets funds surged to a record $14.9 trillion by the end of 2025, a 15.4% increase in the past year continuing the strong growth in the sector.

The global value of private assets has surged by 87% since 2020, and 330% since 2015, and is forecast to climb another 60% by 2030 to hit $23.9 trillion. This is according to the latest Global Asset Monitor from Ocorian.

Global private equity fund asset values are driving the growth in private markets rising 17.8% in 2025 to a record $10.6 trillion at the start of this year – the highest annual growth rate since 2021. Ocorian’s Global Asset Monitor forecasts the total value of private equity assets will rise by two thirds to reach $17.4 trillion by the end of 2030.

Within that total global private equity, private debt, infrastructure and real estate funds all hit record valuations and Ocorian forecasts growth will continue building on expansion over the past 10 years. However, it believes the growth in assets will drive consolidation with mainstream fund managers increasingly targeting the private markets sector.
