There have been several reasons for this growth. The first has been the internationalization of capital sources. The key sources of capital for Euro­ pean private equity funds have traditionally been segmented by national boundaries: historically, the pattern in Europe has been for private equity groups to raise funds from banks, insurance companies, and government bodies in their own country, with little involvement from foreign investors.
