Of this, the UK and Western Europe both surpassed EUR 1 trillion of private capital AUM in 2022, though Preqin writes that the UK’s share has fallen in recent years to reach a new low of 44 per cent of the total at EUR1.04.

The number of women on FTSE All-Share boards has continued to rise this year (40 per cent), but a new report released today highlights deep concerns about the lack of skills and diversity of expertise among FTSE All-Share executive board members. New data reveals that just 2.3 per cent of executive board members hold positions other than CEO, CFO or Company Secretary and only 10 per cent of executive board directors are women.
