I am looking for statistics on private equity specifically in Boston
and perhaps New York as well, specifically how much total capital is
available, % of total capital available vs. the rest of the country, %
of deals completed by Boston / NY-based firms vs. rest of the country,
etc.

Basically, I'm looking to see how Boston (and New York) stacks up
against the rest of the U.S. in terms of private equity activity.

Thanks.

Private equity ACTIVITY could be something different from private
equity CAPITAL based in Boston and NY.  Old money may sit around with
few deals, new money  - also from outside the area -  may be involved
in many deals transacted in the cities.  And perhaps a definition of
PRIVATE is significant:  funds held by individuals and trusts for
individuals, or also funds held by non-public entities, such as
Harvard's endowment fund.

Perhaps you can clarify.
