Private Equity United States

Private Equity Firms and Portfolio Companies by State

It has been a while since I have been able to post here, but I am now returning updating this blog daily as my schedule has returned to normal. That said, I received some interesting data from Private Equity Info that shows the largest geographical concentration of private equity firms and private equity portfolio companies as well. Private Equity Info sampled over 1,000 private equity firms and more than 10,000 companies held by private equity firms to give an interesting view of where firms are located and where they invest.

This data shows the high concentration of private equity firms in the industry, with 80% of U.S. private equity firms located in 10 states. The largest concentration of firms are in New York, California and Illinois. The companies held by private equity firms are more widely dispersed by states.
