The Vistra Friction Index: Turning Friction into Capital Flow (APAC PE/VC Edition 2026) report, co-produced with DealStreetAsia — has been featured by leading media across APAC and the United States, including Economic Times India, ANTARANEWS.com, Lianhe Zaobao 联合早报, NetEase and Crowdfund Insider. Drawing on insights from 125 GP respondents across 15 APAC markets, the research examines where firms encounter friction in raising, deploying and managing capital across the region. The verdict? APAC private capital is no longer a single thesis. It's a market-by-market, strategy-by-strategy discipline. 🔑 Key findings driving the headlines: • India tops the Opportunity Index at 0.78 — the region's clearest full-stack opportunity • Singapore leads on execution ease with the lowest Friction score (0.32) • 57.5% of GPs cite fundraising as APAC's number 1 friction point 💬 "Over 40% of managers reported fewer than 40% of existing LPs reinvesting in the next fund. Despite fundraising headwinds, investors remain broadly optimistic about the region’s long-term prospects." — David Anderson, Executive Vice President, APAC, Vistra Fund Solutions.
