Private Equity Barometer and Venture Capital Barometer

Both the German Venture Capital Barometer and the German Private Equity Barometer are sentiment indicators for the German private capital market, jointly compiled by BVK and KfW. For this purpose, BVK members and other private capital firms active in Germany are surveyed on their assessments of the current and expected business climate as well as various factors influencing market sentiment. The assessments of investors focused on mature, mid-sized companies form the basis of the German Private Equity Barometer, while those of investors focused on start-ups and young technology companies form the basis of the German Venture Capital Barometer.

The results are published exclusively by our media partner Handelsblatt and are also presented together with expert commentary in BVK’s video format “Investorenbarometer”.

The reports provide a concise summary of the results of the quarterly surveys. In addition, all survey participants receive an exclusive, detailed indicator report on the most important market factors influencing sentiment. As part of the barometer surveys, special questions are also regularly used to gather investors’ assessments of current market topics, which are then published by KfW or BVK as standalone analyses.

Please note that the reports are in German!
