$89.27B Filed in One Week: Hedge Funds and Secondaries Lead as Venture Capital Holds at Just 3.5%

Across five filing sessions between August 24 and August 28, 2026, AngelLinx Intelligence tracked 671 capital vehicles totalling $89.27 billion. Hedge funds led the week with 147 vehicles worth $37.18 billion, 41.7% of all capital and 21.9% of all vehicles. Other investment funds followed at 175 vehicles worth $34.73 billion, 38.9% of capital and 26.1% of vehicles. Private equity filed 129 vehicles worth $14.21 billion, 15.9% of capital and 19.2% of vehicles. Venture capital filed 220 vehicles, the largest category by count at 32.8% of all vehicles, worth a combined $3.15 billion, just 3.5% of the week's total capital. All percentages are of 671 total vehicles and $89.27B total capital tracked by AngelLinx Intelligence across the five sessions.

Individually, each of these five days already has its own dedicated AngelLinx Intelligence coverage: August 24 at $14.70 billion, August 25 at $18.14 billion, August 26 at $15.39 billion, August 27 at $16.14 billion, and August 28 at $24.90 billion, the single heaviest session of the week. What the week-level total adds is a view no single day can offer: hedge funds and other investment funds combined for 80.6% of all capital filed across the entire five-day window, a level of concentration that held remarkably steady even as the day-to-day composition swung significantly, as detailed below.

How the Week Compared Day to Day

No single day looked like the week's average. Hedge fund share ranged from a low of 16.2% on August 26 to a high of 59.4% on August 27, while venture capital's daily share swung from a high of 7.0% on August 24 down to a low of 1.5% on August 28, a trend explored in full in AngelLinx Intelligence's dedicated coverage of the week's venture capital slide. Private equity told its own story: August 26 alone accounted for $9.36 billion of the week's $14.21 billion private equity total, driven almost entirely by Madison Dearborn's five-vehicle Capital Partners IX filing, meaning a single manager on a single day shaped nearly two-thirds of the week's entire private equity category.

That day-to-day volatility is the clearest argument for reading weekly totals alongside daily ones rather than in place of them. A founder or investor checking AngelLinx Intelligence's daily coverage only on August 26 would have seen private equity dominating at 60.8% of that day's capital; checking only on August 27 would have shown hedge funds dominating instead at 59.4%. Neither single-day snapshot captures the fuller picture that emerges only once the full week is aggregated: across all five sessions, hedge funds edged out other investment funds for the top spot, but neither approached the roughly 60% single-day extremes either category hit on its strongest day.

The "other investment fund" category's $34.73 billion is itself a blend of very different strategies filed across the week: secondaries funds like Goldman Sachs' Vintage X franchise, credit and structured products vehicles from managers including Blue Owl and AREC, and real estate and infrastructure vehicles from operators like Greystar and Invesco. That breadth is worth remembering any time a weekly "other investment fund" total gets cited without context, since the label groups together strategies with fundamentally different risk profiles and investment horizons under one filing category. Private equity's week, by contrast, was dominated almost entirely by a single event: Madison Dearborn's five parallel Capital Partners IX vehicles on August 26 accounted for $8.02 billion of the week's $14.21 billion private equity total on a face-value basis, illustrating how one manager's parallel-fund filing pattern can shape an entire week's reading for a category even when spread across just one of the five sessions.

What to Watch

The week's 3.5% venture capital share, on 220 vehicles, the largest vehicle count of any category, is the single most consistent theme across all five sessions: venture led every day on vehicle count while trailing every other category on dollars, without exception. That consistency suggests the pattern is structural rather than a one-off, reflecting how the venture ecosystem is built around many smaller, independently raising funds rather than a handful of mega-vehicles.
