March 27 (CNBC) — Iran-related global market volatility has added a new layer of uncertainty, potentially cooling the emerging enthusiasm for Asian private equity (PE) investment. Andrew Thompson, head of asset management and private equity for KPMG Asia Pacific, noted: “What we’re seeing now mirrors the tariff situation early last year — people will hit pause, slow their pace, and hold off to avoid being caught off guard by sudden shocks.” Amid escalating uncertainty, Middle Eastern investment funds — a key capital source for the global PE industry — may also temporarily dial back outbound investment and steer clear of large-scale overseas deals in the short term. Thompson added: “Now isn’t the time for fundraising due diligence; they need to address more pressing issues right now.” A Bain & Company report released this week shows funds raised by Asian-focused PE firms last year dropped to a nearly decade-low of $58 billion, marking the fourth straight year of contraction.
