SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Overall investment in qualified opportunity funds (QOF) tracked by national accounting and consulting firm Novogradac reached $34.09 billion at the end of 2022–with a single-year record $9.68 billion of that being reported in the preceding 12 months.

Key Points: 
  • That total comes from 1,661 QOFs tracked by Novogradac, 1,274 of them reporting a specific amount of equity raised.
  • The equity amount raised in 2022 comes on the heels of a reported $9.24 billion raised in 2021 and $9.23 billion raised in 2020.
  • While 2022 saw a record amount of reported investment, the final three months saw a decline.
  • While the Novogradac data isn't exhaustive–the number of QOFs is undoubtedly higher and the total investment is a multiple of the Novogradac total–the Novogradac data provides indications of investment trends.
