Core Insights - The article explores the impact of regional factors on investment trends, specifically focusing on capital inflow rates and distribution rates across North America, Western Europe, and emerging Asian markets [2][4]. Group 1: Capital Inflow and Distribution Rates - Capital inflow rate serves as an indicator of investment interest, while incorporating distribution rates provides a better understanding of fund returns relative to investment levels [2]. - High capital inflow periods are more common, reflecting the long-term expansion phase of the private equity sector, where the performance of quality funds offsets that of underperforming funds [4]. - High distribution periods typically commence about three years after economic recessions, likely due to deep value investments made during downturns yielding substantial returns [4]. Group 2: Regional Investment Behavior - European markets exhibit rapid transitions between capital inflow and return periods with minimal transitional phases, while the U.S. and Asian markets show smoother transitions [4]. - The investment interest in the U.S. and Asian markets appears to be less influenced by macroeconomic factors, indicating relative stability in investor interest [4]. - The dominance of high distribution in the global private equity market during the 2010s is attributed to the loose monetary policies following the 2008 financial crisis [4]. Group 3: Changes Post-2018 - Since 2018, there has been a noticeable increase in investor interest in U.S. and European investments compared to returns, while Asian markets are shifting towards a return period similar to deep value investment returns seen in the 2020s [5]. - Other markets also experienced a return period during the market rebound in 2021 [5]. Group 4: Future Outlook - As funds invested in 2020 begin to yield returns, the Asian market, primarily driven by China, is moving towards net positive distributions [6]. - If the economic momentum in the region continues, there may be more instances of distributions exceeding capital inflows, although this could reverse as returns normalize and inflows increase [6]. - In contrast, increasing capital inflows in Europe and the U.S. may indicate declining private equity returns, potentially slowing new investments [6].

基于我们之前对地域因素在公开市场与私募市场表现差异中所起作用的深入剖析，现在我们来探究一下资 金流入率和配息率这两个方面。 资金流入率是衡量投资兴趣的一个指标，而将配息率纳入考量就可以更好地解释基金收益对投资水平的影 响。如下表所示，我们研究了全球最具代表性的三大主要地域——北美、西欧和亚洲新兴市场，以探究地 域因素是否对投资趋势有影响，亦或者投资者的兴趣是否不受地域影响。 点击图片查看大图 主要结论 在上图中，我们可以看到明显的高配息期和高资金流入期。其中，高资金流入占主导的时期更为常见，这 是合理的，因为私募领域长期处于扩张阶段，优质基金和表现欠佳的基金所产生的分配在一定程度上相互 抵消。值得注意的是，高配息期往往在经济衰退大约三年后开启，这可能是因为在经济衰退时期布局的深 度价值投资在后续获得了高额回报。 分析不同地域在配息和资金流入模式之间的转换情况，我们发现其平稳性并不一致。具体而言，欧洲市场 的投资行为似乎在资金流入期和资金回报期之间转换迅速，几乎没有过渡阶段，而美国以及（近年来）亚 洲市场的投资则在这两个时期间呈现平缓过渡态势，就像我们在2010-2011年以及2018-2019年这两个时 期所 ...
