Research

The BVCA is recognised as a leading authority of data insight on UK private equity and venture capital.

BVCA Research focuses on many aspects of private capital in the UK: including deal activity, fund and business performance, diversity and inclusion, and how businesses backed by our members are combatting the climate crisis. Our aim is to provide robust insight to enable a better understanding of the contribution of private capital to the UK.

The majority of our work is based on commercial information shared directly by our members. We also work closely with the academic and research community in the UK, EU and US, as well as commissioning work from third parties.

Our work focuses in four main areas: investment activity, fund performance, portfolio company performance, and diversity & inclusion. You can find more detail on each of these by following the links below.
