Summary
PitchBook has published a Q2 2026 earnings dashboard covering the publicly traded alternative asset managers. The seven largest of these firms have amassed nearly $5 trillion in combined assets under management, which PitchBook argues gives them significant sway over which assets are acquired and how the credit that finances those acquisitions is provided.
The dashboard sets the managers' results against one another across four areas: performance, fundraising, deployment and exits, with particular attention to growth in perpetual capital. PitchBook's stated aim is to use these quarterly earnings as a read on the direction of private equity and private credit markets. The publication's summary does not specify individual firm results or figures in the excerpt available for this story.
